Reviewer Note

I am deciding that the mention of this legendary animal in Pliny's Natural History and in Rabelais is sufficient significant coverage by multiple ancient and medieval sources to satisfy general notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:05, 9 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

These are the same legendary creature. Not clear which name is primary. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:12, 9 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Mind if I remove the tag for this merger proposal? Not Parandrus, just this alternate spelling. Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 17:46, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merge of Parandrus with Tarand (animal)

Two names for same legendary creature, first mentioned by Pliny. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:13, 9 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Robert McClenon: According to Ngram viewer, many more literary mentions of Tarand, but I didn't look into the context of those mentions. Could be any use of the word so this might be a useless comment. Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 03:20, 14 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support merge, but perhaps under the name Parandrus, since Tarand has other uses. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 21:27, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Support merge, but to Tarand (animal) as the more common name, given WP:COMMONNAME, and that confusion with other uses is naturally accommodated with the qualifier animal. Klbrain (talk) 12:10, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
