South American pilchard → Sardinops sagax – requesting move to the scientific name for this fish as there are multiple vernacular names depending upon where it occurs thus precluding one being chosen as COMMONNAME. The scientific name currently is a redirect to this page. Nick Thorne talk 04:12, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. Per WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA, this should be located at the genus name, Sardinops. We also have a short article on a subspecies, Peruvian Pacific sardine, which could gracefully be merged here, I don't see a need for a split. Not being an expert on the subject, I won't !vote on the substance of the request. No such user (talk) 13:59, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Support move to Sardinops. There aren't any vernacular names that are commonly used to refer to this fish across the entirety of it's range. The vernacular names that are used refer to subspecies that are more geographically limited (e.g., South American pilchard refers to Sardinops sagax sagax), but are misleading when applied to the species as a whole.
