Pennatomys nivalis or Pennatomys
Just a question, many pages about a species and a genus combined are under the species name? Is that incorrect, or should this page be at Pennatomys nivalis? -- Kim van der Linde at venus 18:14, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * We tend to place monotypic genera under the genus name, unless that name is ambiguous (e.g., Ambondro mahabo); it's shorter and more in line with normal usage in the literature. Ucucha 17:07, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, because in WP:BIRD, it is the other way round. Thank you for the explanation. -- Kim van der Linde at venus 18:14, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If there is a common name, that is; and that is also true in mammals. Ucucha 18:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ha, that is where I missed the point. Thank you! -- Kim van der Linde at venus 18:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC)


 * It is monotypic genus as the title unless the title is a primary topic of something else. So this should be moved. FunkMonk (talk) 08:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Common name
The IUCN lists three common names. Should we suppressed these names? Nevis Rice Rat, St. Eustatius Rice Rat, or St. Kitts Rice Rat --Melly42 (talk) 19:18, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Pennatomys nivalis → Pennatomys – Per TOL guidelines, monotypic genera should be covered at the genus level. FunkMonk (talk) 08:21, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: I think to run such debates while an article is on the Main page while it is move-protcted is not a good idea. This could have ben discussed during the preparation, and if missed then, could be discussed in three days. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:38, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I saw it because it was about to become TFA (this request is two days old). Doesn't matter when it's done, as long as it's done. We could temporarily remove the maintenance tag, of course. FunkMonk (talk) 08:40, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have done so, until TFA is complete.  Arbitrarily0   ( talk ) 10:27, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think this move is contraversial. Could just have been done in my opinion. YorkshireExpat (talk) 10:32, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. Sorry for missing this. For the record, the article became an FA under the correct title, but was moved without discussion last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pennatomys&diff=prev&oldid=1011484328.

 * Ah, by a now banned user, even. That user was wreaking havoc across many articles a while back. FunkMonk (talk) 07:30, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
