Talk:Canis falconeri

Convert article into a redirect

This article consists of two references that I have placed here, plus the pix and the cladogram. The stub has said little since its creation and remains a low importance stub. In 1994, falconeri was reassigned as Canis (Xenocyon) falconeri in Rook, L. 1994. The Plio-Pleistocene Old World Canis (Xenocyon) ex gr. falconeri. Bolletino della Società Paleontologica Italiana 33:71–82. There are a number of later works by other authors supporting Rook's position.

Canis (Xenocyon) falconeri has an entry in the more substantial and integrated genus Xenocyon article, where it gives rise to Canis (Xenocyon) lycanoides that gave further rise to the modern dhole and the African hunting dog. I propose turning this article Canis falconeri into a redirect to that article. Does anybody have an issue with this proposal? I shall wait a week for feedback.

Given that the falconeri section of the Xenocyon page is more or less the same as this stub, that sounds like a logical decision. Wasechun tashunka^HOWL_TRACK 13:53, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Well, I appear to have forgotten about creating the redirect discussed above. Canis (Xenocyon) falconeri is now known as the western expansion of the east Eurasian Canis (Xenocyon) antonii - science moves on. I shall action the redirect now. Sorry about the cladogram icons, M.
