Merge to Central Asian salamander over monospecific genus name. Loopy30 (talk) 00:43, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Semirechensk salamander" has more reported Google results than "Central Asian salamander". "Semirechensk salamander" is the only vernacular names listed by IUCN and iNaturalist. AmphibiaWeb lists both vernacular names. Amphibian Species of the World lists 3 vernacular names, with sources. "Central Asian salamander" appears in 1 source, "Semirechensk salamander" appears in 4 sources, and "Siberian salamander" appears in 3 sources (but is also used for another species). "Central Asian salamander" is not the most commonly used vernacular name. Plantdrew (talk) 16:14, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would all agree to merge both articles to Semirechensk salamander? (Pinging Nessie and Plantdrew). Loopy30 (talk) 02:25, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like Ranodon is more popular in ngram and in google books. "Semirechensk salamander" on google scholar has 43 results, Ranodon has 942, and "central Asian salamander" has only 7. I say use Ranodon. --Nessie (talk) 02:39, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I support Ranodon as the title. Plantdrew (talk) 01:31, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
