Species have, historically, been considered individually notable, as a form of unwritten SNG. Indeed, no article about an officially named species in WikiProject Deletion sorting/Organisms has been deleted since mid-2016. In many cases, however, the material is lacking. Apart for a few diagnostic characteristics, nothing of note can be written about individual species in large genera, and they are doomed to stay perpetual stubs.

Merge to the genus!
On the other hand, genus articles deserves better than being a dry species list, which too many of them unfortunately are. Bringing together information about each species in the genus article would allow to write more complete articles, allowing the reader to assess the diversity and range of the genus, comparing the variety of species together.
