All information in this article is also contained in sprat.
The German Wikipedia only has one article about sprats which is linked through wikidata to this article. This is formally probably correct. Any German reader who fails to notice that there exists a second article sprat will be disappointed by the lack of content in this article, though.

- Merge - it seems that all sprats are in Sprattus and all members of Sprattus are called sprats. Possibly the merged article should be under the genus name as that is a natural disambiguator from the other uses of sprat. --awkwafaba (📥) 18:56, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

- I think that we should merge to Sprat as it is the common name (WP:COMMONNAME), broader topic and better-developed article. Klbrain (talk) 11:42, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
