Proposing merge from ʻAkepa to Loxops

 * Merge - The Akepa article acts like the common name applies to all species of Loxops but ignores two of them. The article is confusing and splitting them does not serve readers well. --Nessie (talk) 03:34, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that these two articles should be merged under a single Loxops article. --Kiwikiu (talk) 06:14, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * no, there are a couple of species in the genus Loxops that are not 'Akepa. Conventionally, they usually get separate articles....Pvmoutside (talk) 12:01, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * then what is the difference? Neither article explains.  Do we know that Hawaii creepers and akekees are not akepas? --Nessie (talk) 13:59, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support merge on the grounds of Overlap, Short text and Context. While they are not identical in scope, they overlap so greatly, and the pages are so brief, that the topic is best discussed in one place, with any differences in the scope discussed on that page.

 * Support really don't see why we need separate articles just because two of the five species aren't considered "akepas" Geekgecko (talk) 16:50, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
