FVB (mouse strain) → FVB mouse – Use natural disambiguation when available, per WP:NATDIS policy. Also produces a more WP:CONCISE title. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 05:19, 10 December 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Iffy★Chat -- 14:26, 18 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Comment: I originally created this page at FVB Mice and it was moved here. I'll notify the user who made that move about this discussion. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 02:33, 11 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Comment I have no very strong feelings about this. "FVB Mice" is incorrect capitalization. I have a slight preference for the current title, as it tells you immediately that this is a mouse strain and not, for example, a knock-out or transgenic line. But I can live with "FVB mouse" or "FVB mice" if that were the consensus here. --Randykitty (talk) 09:38, 11 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
