[edit] Requested move
Triakis semifasciata → Leopard shark – Common english names are the standard for species. The current disambiguation page is not necessary - it can be dealt with by a {{distinguish}} tag at the top of each of the pages Yomanganitalk 13:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Survey
Add "* Support" or "* Oppose" followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~
- Oppose - like so many common names, "leopard shark" is ambiguous, being used in Australia ([1]) and elsewhere ([2]) also for Stegostoma fasciatum. --Stemonitis 10:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support - Only 2 sharks involved (are there more?), the other has its own common name (zebra) already. Let's not break the standard whereby common names used where they exist. I support Yomangani's {{distinguish}} tag suggestion. GrahamBould 14:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Support - Hard one, I call zebra shark, leopard shark, but I know that it is wrong, scientific name is not most common and fishbase calls them according to move proposal, I say we go with fishbase, put {{distinguish}} on the page, that would be the correct way of doing it.
