The result was keep, and I'll redirect it to Bewick's Wren as suggested (note that you don't have to wait for an AfD to merge and/or redirect an article). --Sam Blanning^(talk) 01:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seattle wren

Source seems to ne news item; subspecies almost certainly the Vancouver/Seattle area pupolation described as Thryomanes bewickii ariborius Oberholser, 1920 Original description, but "Birds of North America Online" cites Phillips, A. R. (1986): The known birds of North and Middle America. Part I: Hirundinidae to Mimidae; Cerciidae (A. R. Phillips, Denver, CO) as source for considering it invalid. Not recognized by AOU. Could have been recently resurrected as valid subspecies, but unlikely given Bewick's Wren subspeciation pattern. Dysmorodrepanis 05:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Merge/Redirect to Bewick's Wren. Whether or not it is a valid subspecies, it has definitely been referred to by this name, so may be used as a search item and deserves a note on the BW page. Grutness...wha? 06:50, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Concur - there is not much to merge, and I will add the information on the Bewick's page. Dysmorodrepanis 09:53, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Bewick's Wren. There's nothing to merge that isn't already in the Bewick article. -- Whpq 21:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Added request - someone in N. America could please check the ref above? It's never too good to scratch a taxon on second-hand reference. Dysmorodrepanis 04:16, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
