Rapid revert?

@FlightTime: Your edit summary for a revert edit says "unsourced, unexplained", despite the fact that I provided a source for both, and the IUCN status page also has the species under Axis porcinus. Mind explaining why? 74.68.117.176 (talk) 21:14, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mammals#Unexplained_reverts_of_a_good_edit_on_Indian_hog_deer. — Jts1882 | talk 08:11, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The change of scientific name from Axis was made in this 2013 edit with no source and a misleading edit summmary ("Cleaning a bit"). It should have been reverted as it was unexplained and unsourced. Today BhagyaMani has just added two 2004 references for the proposal to change the genus, but there is little indication that it has been accepted. MSW3 and Groves & Grubb (2011) both used Axis, as do the IUCN and ASM now. The paper arguing against the Groves species split (Gupta et al, 2018) also uses Axis porcinus. I think the name should be changed back so the Wikipedia article is consistent with all the main authorities. — Jts1882 | talk 10:43, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree! Placement in Axis is also in line with arguments put forward by Red List assessors Timmins et al. 2015. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 11:32, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
