Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

Smeagol (gastropod) → Smeagol —

move per Wikipedia:Article titles: "Article title should be" ... "consistent with usage in reliable English-language sources". There are no reliable sources that Smeagol is something else than gastropod.

The fictious "Sméagol" is already redirecting to its article "Gollum".
There exist only one word spelled "Smeagol" and it is the gastropod. --Snek01 (talk) 14:10, 9 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Oppose The spelling Smeagol (without accent mark) also redirects to Gollum and after the release of the movie trilogy it is far more likely that searches for Smeagol (no accent) will be for the character rather then the obscure gastropod. --Kev min § 15:15, 9 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oppose this is a proposal to inconvenience readers looking for references to "Smeagol and Deagol" for the sake of those looking up the gastropod - which is named for the character; not a service to the encyclopedia. A type case of WP:PRIMARYUSAGE. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:24, 9 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is indisputable here. Powers ^T 17:24, 9 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per above. It's telling that the gastropod was actually named after the fictional character. PC78 (talk) 17:39, 9 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Agree that the character Gollum is the primary topic. It is possible for a derivative meaning such as the slug named after him to become the primary meaning in time, but this hasn't happened yet and probably won't. Andrewa (talk) 23:45, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Oppose See wp:SNOW. Nom misses "Most generally" wrt reliable english language sources. This would be an obvious exception if there were no "reliable sources that Smeagol is something else (other than a) gastropod," but of course there are anyway.
