Poacher (fish) → Agonidae – These fishes are also called Irish lords, sea ravens, alligatorfishes, starsnouts, hooknoses, and rockheads, the scientific family name is more precise Quetzal1964 (talk) 17:27, 21 December 2022 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink).

- Using a common name for such a varied family doesn't make sense, it's like calling the article on Canidae "dog". Quetzal1964 (talk) 19:21, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support per nom. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:07, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support The current title is too ambiguous. Amogus girl (talk) 05:09, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support. The title doesn't seem to qualify as a common name for the whole family and, even if it did, the need for disambiguation would be a reason to use the scientific name of the family. — Jts1882 | talk 12:43, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support. Many other families are sometimes called poachers. Agonidae is much more accurate. Jj1691 (talk) 13:22, 23 December 2022 (PST).
