[edit] Merge?

I do not see a reason to have articles for both Parrotlet and Pacific Parrotlet. Notice that most of the contents in Pacific Parrotlet is about parrotlets in general, not pacific parrotlets in particular. Does anyone object to removing Pacific Parrotlet and redirecting to Parrotlet (merging contents as appropriate)? Ljosa 16:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I dissagree, for example that is the same as saying that the lovebird article and each of the individual species articles should be merged, this is an individual species, not the generalistic genus article. Most species have a genus article and a species article, not all the information clutered together. The genus article should have general info. and link to a more informative species article.

I think that there should be a separate page for the wild Pacific Parrotlet, with scientific information and conservation status, etc, with a link to the Parrotlet page which has the information about the domesticated varieties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbgrebe (talk • contribs) 23:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
They are different. Parrotlet is a name of several groups and the Pacific Parrotlet is one species. If there is excess duplication it could be removed, but there should be two different pages. I will remove the merge tags. Snowman (talk) 23:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
