Mavia (queen) → Mavia – This person looks significantly more important than the wasp genus, which should be treated as a hatnote. Relisted. BDD (talk) 16:12, 16 April 2013 (UTC) PatGallacher (talk) 19:43, 29 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Seems a clear lack of primary topic to me. The wasp article stinks now but I don't see the queen's notability exceeding the genus'. Red Slash 05:08, 7 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Mavia is too short to unambiguously indicate the subject. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:11, 8 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. Sorry Pat but given the Arabic variants the queen isn't even called Mavia is many sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
