Proposed merge of Exothispa reimeri with Exothispini
[edit]WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA. There is single species in the tribe, therefore there should be a single article at Exothispa. William Avery (talk) 11:29, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
- Agree all information should be at genus level with redirects. Roy Bateman (talk) 22:08, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
- I checked 3 databases (GBIF, CoL and BioLib) and genus is monotypic: so moved. Roy Bateman (talk) 13:55, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
- Taxobox corrected here and all relevant content now at Exothispa. Why was this page created in the first place? If consensus reached this article can be converted to redirect, and/or an entry on the subfamily page. Roy Bateman (talk) 16:01, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
Admins. please note: same treatment is required for Callohispa/Callohispa mirifica/Callohispini please. Roy Bateman (talk) 19:59, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
- Exothispini redirected as discussed above (noting that there was no unique referenced content). Klbrain (talk) 20:39, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Roy Bateman: There's no need to invoke admins for something that be done through normal editing - propose it, or do it yourself boldly (see WP:BRD). Klbrain (talk) 20:39, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Klbrain: I would gladly do the edits needed - but this required a move to an existing page: as I understand, cutting and pasting content is not appropriate. Roy Bateman (talk) 09:05, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
- Merges can be done by any editor, as long as the edit summaries include the sources/reasons (for the purpose of copywrite); talk page 'merged from' and 'merged to' templates are a helpful adjunct, but aren't strictly required. You're right that is a page is blank (or a redirect), and you're essentially moving an entired page to an entirely new destination, then this needs a technical move request ... but if content is mixed, it's down to editors. If you need a technical move, you can request it at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests, as most admins won't find talk page messages. Klbrain (talk) 11:02, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
