Talk:Pudu

Smallest deer
Strange that this article states that the Norther Pudu is only the second smallest deer in the world (conflicting claims to the smallest goes to either the southern Pudú or the Leaf_muntjac (or Leaf Deer). However based on the the heights/lengths/and weights cited in the articles all seem to point to the northern Pudú as the smallest deer in the world. If the sizes cited in the articles are correct, then Northern Pudu is the smallest deer in the world and the other articles should be corrected accordingly. Otherwise the cited sizes should be corrected to match the text claims.
 * And what an odd way to word it. This article states that this animal is smaller than the world's second smallest deer species, yet nowhere does it claim the title of smallest deer species.  --Aranae (talk) 14:38, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Move?
It seems really strange to have this article at Pudú. Aside from a Spanish/Mapudungun dictionary, none of the cited sources use an accent in the name. We don't use accents very often in English (and a Spanish/Mapundungun dictionary is not a guide to English usage). Pudu is a dab so moving to that title may not be possible, but given that the preponderance of sources don't use an accent it seems absurd to have the accented form as the article title.

Split
Wouldn't it make much more sense to split this page into two? One for P. puda and one for P. mephistophiles being as they're two separate species. I understand having combined pages for subspecies but full species deserve their own page. BronxZooFan (talk) 14:48, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Agree, not sure why this was set up this way. It doesn't even appear as if they had been treated as subspecies at some point (which is the usual reason for this kind of combo package). - To avoid too much duplication, one could leave the majority of generally applicable material (diet, behaviour) at the nominate and refer there with a short summary from the relevant P. mephistophiles sections.-- Elmidae  (talk) 15:05, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

This page should be split into two species. Ddum5347 (talk) 05:47, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Create new articles. This article should remain, but feel free to create the two pages. Firestar464 (talk) 10:35, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

I have created seperate pages for both species. I find it ridiculous that every other species of mammal, including the most obscure species, has its own wikipedia entry, but these two need to share theirs. Please to not revert my changes.

Pudú → Pudu (deer) – This is the English Wikipedia and we're supposed to use English. Georgia guy (talk) 21:35, 28 August 2021 (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.
 * Support, common english spelling seems to omit the accent.--Ortizesp (talk) 23:57, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Move to Pudu. |Pudu,_Kuala_Lumpur|Pudu,_Dakshina_Kannada|Pudu_Deer|Pudu_(disambiguation)|Pudu_River Pageviews indicate that the deer is the overwhelming WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Move the dab page to Pudu (disambiguation). (Second best would be to move the dab page and then redirect Pudu to this article.) Station1 (talk) 07:25, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Also Support this alternative proposal.--Ortizesp (talk) 05:02, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Support the alternate proposal from Station1. To be clear, our policy is not that we are supposed to use English, but rather that we use the name used in reliable English-language sources (it's why we have pages at Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe). In this case, usage in sources shows Pudu is preferred.--Yaksar (let's chat) 15:39, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
