Therea (insect)Therea (genus) – This should be moved to Therea (genus), as disambiguated for other fauna, such as Python (genus). I feel like there should be a guideline for this, but I was not able to find one. Natg 19 (talk) 01:09, 20 September 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

  • Oppose. I've never found a relevant guideline either. But, ask yourself this: if you're a reader who's just stumbled across Therea, wouldn't you find it more useful to see a qualifier indicating what kingdom the genus is in? (That's assuming that you know what a genus is.) I routinely create redlinks to genera with more precise qualifiers than vague ones like (insect); in this case, I would prefer (cockroach).
As a counterexample to Python (genus), I offer Cydia (moth) as one out of many. Narky Blert (talk) 08:11, 29 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
