Atara (genus)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Seems to be a misspelling of Rapala arata. No sources, no links. Pevos (talk) 12:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 *  Keep Redirect No, it's really Atara, which the Natural History Museum states is a genus of Lycaenidae, Zhdanko 1996. Citation added. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:54, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Chiswick Chap's reference seems to demonstrate that it is indeed a genus. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 17:27, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * However, it seems to be one of a number of synonyms of Rapala (butterfly) (genus) so a Redirect seems to be in order. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Withdraw, I've found Atara arata (Bremer, 1861) in this source --Pevos (talk) 18:57, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * And since that confirms that that species is certainly a synonym of Rapala arata, we should redirect the genus to Rapala forthwith. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:00, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I have inserted a text User:Dysmorodrepanis wrote (see diff) in the disambiguation page of Atara. So we could keep it as a kind of "informed redirect". --Pevos (talk) 21:02, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Super. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:04, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
