Speed deletion taxon pages
There are currently 6 taxon pages listed for speedy deletion: Asellus strinatii, Astrophyton panamense, Autolytus simplex, Clymenella somersi, Docophorus cancellosus and Goniocotes waterstoni. They were all added to the Speedy deletion category by User:MathXplore using TwinkleGlobal and all since they're broken redirects. This is true, however please note that all of the 6 taxon pages are also linked to from other Wikispecies taxon pages or reference templates. In most cases those links should be tended to prior to deletion. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 13:42, 12 December 2022 (UTC).

Block request
173.184.132.32 (talk • contribs • block log • all projects) : disruptive editing, has a similar history on the English Wikivoyage too. --SHB2000 (talk) 01:16, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
Nikolaevna speedy delete request
Not so sure on this one I think it has some uses. For example I personally know one of the authors on the Nikolaeva page which is similar and I know she only publishes under Nikolaeva. I am thinking there could be enough confusion on these names to keep these disambiguation pages. Any comments? Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 18:40, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- This – unlike the mentioned Nikolaeva – is actually not a family name (in particular not a
second name in Russian families
as the deletion request states) but a w:patronymic, which is even less significant than a given name (and is only significant in combination with the latter at all). At least one deletion request on Wikipedia concerning a patronymic page was successful, and my point for deletion here would be even stronger since Wikispecies does not even contain disambiguation pages for given names. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 21:00, 30 December 2022 (UTC)- The practice is make disambiguation only for surname (the authority part of the name and the only necessary for WS scope), not first or second names. It would not be a case of setting precedents. Burmeister (talk) 21:42, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- Since this does not appear to be linked anymore, I've deleted the page accordingly. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 21:47, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Possible hoax article: Murexia xenochromus
Murexia xenochromus does not appear to exist. I can find no references to it outside Wikipedia and Wikispecies. The cited references do not support it. Ucucha 05:19, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
