All information in this article is also contained in sprat.

The German Wikipedia only has one article about sprats which is linked through wikidata to this article. This is formally probably correct. Any German reader who fails to notice that there exists a second article sprat will be disappointed by the lack of content in this article, though.

best regards,

Merge - it seems that all sprats are in Sprattus and all members of Sprattus are called sprats. Possibly the merged article should be under the genus name as that is a natural disambiguator from the other uses of sprat. --awkwafaba (📥) 18:56, 5 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Merge - Both articles are the same, since sprats are just a common name for Sprattus. Jj1691 (talk) 23:11, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Merge Seeing how little real estate Sprat spends on the other fish that may be lumped under this name (The term also is applied to a number of other small sprat-like forage fish (Clupeoides, Clupeonella, Corica, Ehirava, Hyperlophus, Microthrissa, Nannothrissa, Platanichthys, Ramnogaster, Rhinosardinia, and Stolothrissa)., plus one table entry), this could well be handled in the actual genus article. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:25, 1 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Comment Just to clarify...it sounds like the information should be contained at Sprattus, with Sprat as the redirect? Joyous! Noise! 05:22, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think that we should merge to Sprat as it is the common name (WP:COMMONNAME), broader topic and better-developed article. Klbrain (talk) 11:42, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
