Proposed merge of Southern giant hummingbird into Patagona

As the formerly monotypic genus now has two species, the contents of this article (originally the monotypic genus and single species article) should be merged into the genus article, as most of the information applies to the genus and not to just this species.

Support; agree that the content applies to the genus and not just this species. But it won't really be a merge, right? There will still be an article for the southern giant hummingbird (albeit a stub) after the content is moved. Plantdrew (talk) 21:54, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. Technically this is a partial merge, but see below. - UtherSRG (talk) 10:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To preserve the page history, I would suggest moving the article Southern giant hummingbird to Patagona and recreating a stub for the southern species. Just as I did with the article Cattle egret. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale ^{Will be the raccoon race}_{(talk・contribs)} 02:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. I am dismayed about the state of eastern cattle egret and western cattle egret, which are unsourced forks of cattle egret (sourced statements in the cattle egret article are repeated verbatim without sources in the articles on the eastern and western species), but that situation existed before Interacconale's actions. Plantdrew (talk) 03:07, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with Interaccoonale's solution. - UtherSRG (talk) 10:56, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest keeping it until further taxonomic research is done. It could be legit, like the cattle egrets, or lumped again like the osprey The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 04:20, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The genus Patagona also includes the Northern giant hummingbird. Kolano123 (talk) 20:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
