Subspecies
Per WP:MAMMALS, we should not list this as a species. Our current policy is that we list anything as it appears in MSW3, unless both the IUCN and ASM agree on a change in status. Since the IUCN does not agree with the ASM here, we should list this as a subspecies. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:34, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * The IUCN and MSW3 information is outdated (last assessed 2014) rather than in disagreement with current research.
 * As it is considered an important species in (Western) Australia, worthy of research and conservation, updates need to be diseminated ASAP.
 * My main aim though, was to provide an information page linked to the iNaturalist species "about" page where I.fusciventer is recognized as a species by ASM and AFD et al. and is monitored under local WA Conservation status P4.
 * As such, is there any way to proceed regardless? Andocommando WA (talk) 05:25, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Your purpose is WP:ISNOT what Wikipedia is about. To wit, that's the thinking of creating a directory where people can link from to get to new information. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and we have a different standard to maintain. I agree that the IUCN is old on this, and MSW3 even older. However, that's where our current consensus stands. If you wish to open a dialogue to update the current thinking, it should be on the broad level of WP:MAMMALS and not on an individual taxon. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:10, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
