Plants as partial-title matches edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The large list of plants that was, until recently, near the top of this page made it almost unusable as a disambiguation. In other words, someone looking for a Wikipedia article rather than Lilium that could also be called "Lily" would have a very difficult time finding it on this page.

The various plants, such as "African lily" or "calla lily" strike me as WP:Partial title matches, names that merely include "lily" as part of a longer name. As such, they should not be included on a disambiguation page. Perhaps they could be spun out into something like List of lily flowers. (There is already List of Lilium species, but most of the "lilies" here are not in that genus.) Cnilep (talk) 01:45, 4 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
