Requested Move (2005)

 * The following discussion is closed. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

On all of these, why? Neither name seems significantly more common, and Wikipedia has many flora and fauna articles at their common names instead of their Latin/binomial names. EG Category:Trees of Africa, Category:Legumes Category:Pinaceae, Category:Garden plants, etc. Waterguy 03:14, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, most of the other species I've looked at have been listed under the scientific name, which appeals to me as a biologist. If it's not standard practice, though, it could be left as is. Draeco 17:55, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Wisteria macrostachya → ? – The page should probably move to "Wisteria frutescens var. macrostachya" or alternatively, be merged with "Wisteria frutescens", which is better? MCEllis (talk) 00:12, 22 February 2016 (UTC) See information below regarding this taxon, currently regarded as a synonym or variety of Wisteria frutescens by the vast majority of authorities:
 * GBIF
 * GRIN
 * The Plant List
 * ILDIS
 * Wildflower.org
 * Flora of North America

Alternatively, we can leave the page here, with Tropicos as the reference for the Wisteria macrostachya name. I noticed all references on the article are from the 1980s. It's important to keep in mind that many names have changed since then.--MCEllis (talk) 00:14, 22 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge I'm inclined to go with The Plant List/ILDIS which don't recognize it as a distinct variety. Aside from that, I'm not convinced that it's generally useful to have separate articles for infraspecific taxa; they can be handled in the article on the species.
