Minium → Minium (alga) – I can't see any evidence that this should be the primary topic for minium. It receives fewer page views than either the mineral or the pigment. This should be disambiguated, and a disambiguation page created in its place. WingedOkapi (talk) 10:23, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support move to Minium parvum. It's a monotypic genus so placing it at the species name seems the best solution. The convention is to use the genus name when it contains a single species, but the species name is better than an disambiguated title. — Jts1882 | talk 16:10, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Move to Minium parvum. The binomial title is naturally disambiguated (WP:NATURALDIS) and is recommended in this situation for plants and algae (WP:MONOTYPICFLORA). A Minium (alga) redirect should be created to hold appropriate categories (e.g. Category:Red algae genera). Plantdrew (talk) 16:33, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support move to Minium parvum per above comments — Snoteleks (talk) 18:43, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support Minium parvum the alga has 60 views but the pigment has 723 and the mineral has 472[]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:01, 31 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
