Really a subspecies?
Per Lion, it seems like there's only two subspecies acknowledged nowadays, and P. l. bleyenberghi is mentioned as a "synonym" only. Both the Asiatic lion and Barbary lion are also only considered "populations". I suggest this article follows that nomenclature, and should claim only to describe a regionally significant population of Panthera leo melanochaita. – LordPeterII ( talk ) 14:04, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
