The result of the move request was: Move to prior name before undiscussed move (non-admin closure) microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 15:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sauropsid → Sauropsida – Undiscussed page move. Sauropsida is the actual name of the clade and thus should be preferred as the title, and is over twice as common on scholar as Sauropsid [1] [2] Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:41, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, appears to be an effect of Wikipedia previously attempting to prioritize common names in the past. PrimalMustelid (talk) 23:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. The Morrison Man (talk) 00:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support This page was moved a few days ago by Amakuru after this Uncontroversial technical request at Wikipedia:Requested moves by an IP editor. I think the move should be reversed as Sauropsida is the common name in the WP:COMMONNAME sense, the name most commonly used. It should certainly have been discussed before the move. — Jts1882 | talk 07:15, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
