For a species described so recently, it is nice to see it already featured in another paper, courtesy of the good Dr. Wüster: whoever has access to Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution should grab, read and discuss doi:10.1016/j.ympev.2007.07.021 which resolves its relationships (maybe I have it around, but snakes are not on my usual MPE watchlist).

Survey

Oppose, a "common name" derived from the scientific name is seldom commonly used at all. I suggest moving this to the scientific name instead.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 19:08, 29 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Oppose: per OBSIDIAN†SOUL. Scientific name should be used with the common name as a redirect and a mention in the lede. --lTopGunl (talk) 10:49, 4 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Discussion

Most of the Naja species articles are titled under one of their common vernacular name. There are some with obviously very common English vernacular names (eg. Forest cobra, Cape cobra, Egyptian cobra, Indian cobra, Monocled cobra, Philippine cobra, etc and these I believe should stay), but I agree that others have several commmon vernacular names and so should be switched to their scientific names. I made a navigation box for easier access to the articles: RedGKS talk ★ contribs. 15:35, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
