Notholithocarpus → Notholithocarpus densiflorus – As per Wikidata, Notholithocarpus densiflorus (Q17271024) (or a variant) is the name of the species in 10 other language Wikipedias. Notholithocarpus is the name of the genus, & according to wikispecies:Notholithocarpus, the only species is Notholithocarpus densiflorus. Please, let's delete the redirect at Notholithocarpus densiflorus & move this page to that name. Peaceray (talk) 06:00, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The applicable rule of thumb that is generally followed for plants on this wiki, the English Wikipedia, is outlined at WP:MONOTYPICFLORA. William Avery (talk) 13:29, 12 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose per WP:MONOTYPICFLORA; we cover a monotypic genus and its only species in an article at the genus title. Other language Wikipedias haven chosen to deal with monotypic taxa in different ways, but that shouldn't dictate how we do it on en.wiki. Wikidata and Wikispecies do routinely have separate items/articles for every taxon, even if it is monotypic at a particular rank; that Wikidata links the en.wiki article at the genus title to Wikidata species item is a problem with Wikidata, not en.wiki.
