Talk:A. maculatum

RFD discussion: May–July 2023
Tagged for deletion, but should probably be RFD. Note as "Wiktionary doesn't include these - except perhaps T. rex, H. sapiens and E. coli, which maye be special cases". Technically Translingual, but RFD/English gets all of the eyeballs. - TheDaveRoss  14:00, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Move to Amblyomma maculatum. DonnanZ (talk) 14:39, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. The "A." could be any generic name with neuter gender that starts with "A", and "maculatus/maculata/maculatum" is a fairly common specific epithet that means "spotted". Also, this isn't limited to current or valid taxonomic names. Taxonomists are always proposing that species should be moved to different genera, or giving things names that aren't accepted because of various taxonomic rules. A page like this would end up being a list of everything that has been referred to by a name that fits the criteria I just mentioned. We don't have entries for abbreviations like "John S.", and we shouldn't have an entry for this. Chuck Entz (talk) 15:16, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I failed to notice the others. DonnanZ (talk) 20:59, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per Chuck Entz. The Catalogue of Life lists twenty accepted A... maculatum species names, from Acamptopoeum maculatum (Smith, 1853) to Austrophyllum maculatum Hartman & Fauchald, 1971. --Lambiam 11:51, 3 June 2023 (UTC)


 * RFD failed - to be deleted. There's specific policy somewhere about taxon abbrvs like these. Sicilian speaker669 (talk) 21:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
