 * Oppose – Target article is a 45-word fragment of a stub, consisting mainly of a list of countries in which the species is found. Not enough with which to construct a reasonably informative copy block. – Sca (talk) 14:01, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * As above, are you re-writing the FP rules Sca? Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:43, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Nothing has changed. All FPCs promoted here are potentially TFPs, requiring a modicum of textural info for Main Page use. This is a recording. -- Sca (talk) 00:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * PS: Today's main page TFP of the butterfly Danaus chrysippus, taken by you, is supported by a 187-word copy block based on a comprehensive 2,500-word article. Encyclopedias are all about information. -- Sca (talk) 14:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I will say that this is a fairly obscure butterfly, at least in English and on the web. I can't find very much on it. This might be a little bit of a problem as regards the risk of the article being upmerged to the genus, but I suspect it's just a situation that would need specialised books or databases. African content is much more poorly referenced on the web, and we know that - at the very least - there's going to be the initial report by Fabricius on the species. 1787 would put it in his Mantissa insectorum. So Latin sources. Fun. The genus name has changed (which is common), but I'm pretty sure it's this page https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/82321#page/94/mode/1up and that would provide enough to expand the article enough to squeak by POTD. Hence, Support Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.7% of all FPs. 22:33, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
