[edit] Redirect to extinction
I redirected extirpation to extinction a while ago. I suggest, while not feeling particularly strongly about the matter, that doing so is a benefit to the reader. The reasoning is not only that the article was basically a dictionary definition with a couple of U.S. wolf examples, but also that there is, in the end, not a lot to explore in the nature of extirpation that would be out of place at the extinction article, which provides a lot of context. Reintroduction of species is the only issue that comes to mind that probably doesn't deserve a lot of space at extinction, and if someone wrote up a solid encyclopedic summary of the issue there, I'd say that would be the time to split out a new article devoted to extirpation.
