• Luna (killer whale) → Luna (orca)
• Neutral, but I'm a fan of consistency. Personally, I believe "orca" would be best, but I don't know. Paintspot Infez (talk) 22:40, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
• Use "(killer whale)" for all per killer whale and the concensus on naming that article, and also the parent category for these articles ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Individual killer whales. PC78 (talk) 22:54, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
• Agree with PC78. Srnec (talk) 02:38, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
• Neutral, but I do think some consistency is needed.★Trekker (talk) 02:40, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
• Use (killer whale) to maintain consistency with the parent article Killer whale. (I'd personally prefer "Orca" over "Killer whale" as the title of that article, but as long as the article remains there we should follow whatever it uses.) -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:10, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
• Strong oppose not a (whale); fine as it is; (orca) is clear, not sure why parent article is at the archaic title of killer whale? Who still uses that? In ictu oculi (talk) 08:32, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
• Use (killer whale) or (orca). Per principle of least astonishment, I oppose (whale), as it would be a bit unexpected. LK (talk) 10:46, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
