Article title should follow naming conventions in WP:NAME

User:MidasHotel20 moved Mamushi to "Japanese pit viper" without any discussion or explanation. The move is without consensus and inconsistent with the naming conventions.

"Japanese pit viper" is ambiguous because there are many different species of Japanese pit vipers, for example, the various Trimeresurus species (commonly named habu).

The common name "Mamushi" is precise and unambiguous because it refers specifically to the species Gloydius blomhoffii, and it is concise per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA.

"Japanese pit viper" is not a common name in English (see WP:COMMONNAME). The following review book, already cited in the article, says the common name in English is "mamushi": Mehrtens JM. 1987. Living Snakes of the World in Color. New York: Sterling Publishers. 480 pp. ISBN 0-8069-6460-X.

Most peer-reviewed English academic publications use "mamushi", including the following papers which are already cited in the article: ^[1] ^[2] ^[3]^[3] ^[4]
