A couple notes. These figures are quick and dirty. "Total" for a project is ALL parenthetically dabbed articles (including anatomical terms and biologists). For most projects, genera account for almost all of the total, but for plants, mammals and birds, there are a large number of breed/cultivars and individual domestic animals with a dab term. And the figures in common name column may include article that aren't on genera (e.g. Operculum (fish).
Ambiguity of "(genus)" as a disambiguator should not be underestimated. The last time this came up for plants, I did some research. I looked at the first 60 (alphabetically) plant genera that had a parenthetical disambiguator of "(plant)" or "(genus)". 22 of 60 were already disambiguated against an animal genus on Wikipedia. Checking against GBIF and Worms, I found that 45 of the 60 plant genera had a corresponding animal genus published. Granted, that included some animal genera best treated as synonyms, but there were also recognized animal genera not yet on Wikipedia. At any rate, for the plants I looked at, "(genus)" is still too ambiguous in somewhere between 35%-75% of cases.
Are 35%+ of all plant genera ambiguous with animal genera? No. But many scientific names are constructed by slapping a Latinate suffix on non-Latin personal name (as in Gordonia, or by creating a Greco-Latinate compound that nobody would've recognized 2000 years ago (as in Actinopeltis). If these weird hybrid terms are ambiguous with anything it's almost always going to be another genus constructed using the same rules, and "(genus)" won't work to disambiguate. Then there are scientific names taken directly from a term that had meaning in classical Greek/Latin. Obviously, these are ambiguous from the start with the classical term, but "(genus)" might work to disambiguate these; at least as long as another biologist didn't also find the classical term evocative and appropriate it for another genus (as happened with Laelaps and Echidna (disambiguation)).
Going through WikiProject Arthropod tagged articles with [A-Za-z&quality=&importance=&score=&pagenameWC=on&limit=250&offset=1&sorta=Article+title&sortb=Quality this search], I found 132 articles that had a parenthetical disambiguatory term. 106 of these articles were on genera (the remainder being anatomical terms, biologists or taxa at ranks other than genus). 61 used "(genus)" as the dab term, and 45 used a different dab term (indeed, a horrifying mess of terms; a crab genus might be dabbed with "(crab)", "(arthropod)", "(crustacean)" or "(decapod)"). Of the 45 not using "(genus)", 31 can NOT use genus as there is already an article or redirect on Wikipedia for a different genus with the same name. Best case, if you try to standardize "(genus)" as the dab term for arthropods, you get 75 of 106 articles where it is sufficient to disambiguate. That doesn't strike me as especially consistent. If you go with "(animal)" it works in 99 of 106 cases; (animal) doesn't work for 2 articles where a genus is ambiguous with an anatomical feature in an animal, and 5 articles where there's an article or redirect for a homonymous animal genus (in two of these, there doesn't appear to be a replacement name yet for the junior homonym). If you go with "(arthropod)", it works in 101 of 106 cases (doesn't work for 1 genus/anatomy term ([[scutellum} and 4 homonymous genera that are arthropods in both uses (Battus, Cyclopyge, Harpagomorpha and Zalmoxis).
No one dab term is going to work 100% of the time. If you want the fewest number of dab terms covering the largest number of cases, (animal) is going to work far better than (genus). But (animal) is currently hardly used at all on Wikipedia and implementing it would require many moves. The current status quo is that across many organismal WikiProjects, most genera that need to be dabbed use the broadest common name(s) associated with the WikiProject's scope (e.g. fish, gastropod, etc.). The table below shows the current status quo.

Numbers for the individual projects are derived from searches for project banner templates on the talk page and the various manual/auto taxobox templates in the article. This searches for Amphibian and Reptiles articles with manual taxoboxes; modify the values under the Templates&links tab to run other searches. The Wikipedia line is derived from transclusion counts for the various taxobox templates (e.g. Taxobox), and doesn't take WikiProject banners into account. Some taxon articles have multiple WikiProject banners (most frequently with Palaeontology and something else) and are included in the count above for each WikiProject. Some taxon articles don't have any WikiProject banners; the Wikipedia line does catch these (most frequently these are weird protists and palaeontological animals).
Some highlights. In December, 5 WikiProjects used automatic taxoboxes in more than 50% of articles. Now 13 WikiProjects (of 26 tracked) are using automatic taxoboxes in the majority of articles. The 3 WikiProjects with the largest number of articles (Lepidoptera, Plants and Insects) each saw several thousand articles converted to automatic taxoboxes. Overall, almost 1/3 of taxon articles are now using automatic taxoboxes, and if the pace over the last year continues, all taxon articles could have automatic taxoboxes in 4.5 years.
However, I'm not sure that universal use of automatic taxoboxes should be a goal. WikiProjects Gastropods (December 2016), WikiProject Fungi (November (2014) and WikiProject Arthropods (March 2012) have had proposals to switch to automatic taxoboxes that have attracted opposition. These three projects are largely still using manual taxoboxes.

Incorporate with User:Plantdrew/Essay Equating the avian sense of "cardinal" with Cardinalidae appears to be a Wikipedia innovation.
To head off WP:COMMONNAME immediately: "the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources)" for the subject of this article is Cardinalidae. The WP:OFFICIAL English name that isn't the scientific name is Cardinals, Grosbeaks and allies
WP:COMMONNAME was written at a time before it was clear that Wikipedia was going to be the 5th most popular website in the world, and before search engines were quite as a good as they are today. In the early days, we couldn't be sure that people searching for "Bill Clinton" would necessarily find a Wikipedia article titled William Jefferson Clinton. In order to make sure people found that article we put it at the COMMONNAME ("Bill Clinton" is clearly the most likely search term). "Common name" happens to be a term of art in taxonomy; some taxonomically interested Wikipedians back in the early days interpretated COMMONNAME to mean "avoid scientific names" at all costs. This has lead to some long-standing titles where scientific names are avoided, but it was never considered whether the title used actually helped readers find the subject they were interested. People looking for a bird called a cardinal are almost certainly looking for northern cardinal, an iconic and common species in eastern North America, but cardinal (bird) is about a family of some 50 species, only 3 of which are known as "cardinals"; but at least the awful scientific name Cardinalidae was avoided. Pig was first created as an article about domestic pigs but early in it's history was changed to cover the genus Sus; scientific name avoided, but do people searching for "pig" really want to read about the genus (and if they're interested in a larger group of animals than domestic pigs, who are we to assume they aren't also interested in javelinas which are in the same suborder, but a different family)? Turkey (bird) is about the genus Meleagris. Every year it sees a massive spike in page views during the American Thanksgiving holiday and a smaller spike for Christmas.
Some thoughts in no particular order. The reason taxon articles don't get deleted isn't because of WP:SPECIESOUTCOMES. It is because there is always an alternative to deletion; an article can be redirected to an accepted name if it is a synonym, or redirected to a higher taxon if it is decided that a stand-alone article is unwarranted. However, in practice, deciding that a stand-alone article is unwarranted and redirecting to a higher taxon has not been an outcome of any recent AfD. The idea that Wikipedia should have stand-alone articles for taxa to the extent that it currently does (and should continue to add more articles until all (extant) taxa have stand-alone articles) has been challenged. But the challengers don't seem to be aware
What would make a taxon non-notable? I'm not sure. I know what makes a taxon article go unread (editors start as readers, and unread articles don't get expanded). Articles about taxa that are uncommon, small, difficult to identify and which don't occur in English-speaking countries don't get read.
What taxa shouldn't have articles? There's already agreement not to have stand-alone articles for fossil species and monotypic taxa. I would add in articles that present one of the two possible cladistic topologies between three clades (i.e., don't name every node on a cladogram). Antennopoda and Tactopoda (as well as Lobopodia if it isn't treated as paraphyletic) representing competing topologies/hypothesized relationships between three clades. I'm not aware of any other examples like this but there may be a few.
Wikipedia's system of categories kind of sucks. It doesn't necessarily work very well for what editors want it to do. Intersectional categories (categories covering two or more characteristics) are particularly problematic. With intersectional categories, Wikipedia editors are making decisions about what characteristics to include in the categorization, which may not be the characteristics of interest to readers (or to other editors). E.g. there is Category:20th-century American male actors, Category:American male television actors and Category:American male film actors. Somebody might be interested only in 20th-century film actors, but they won't find a category for them. It would be better if we had something like a system of tag (metadata), where users can select the tags that define the group of interest to them (e.g. 20th-century+film actors+Americans+males). But we don't have that. However, Wikidata has properties that can be searched on and in that way function similarly to tags. Wikipedia articles/Wikidata items do not necessarily have all the categories/properties that are relevant present, and even if they did there are going to be some edge cases that fall through the gaps (I don't think Wikidata has a property for "20th-century people"; while it does have birth/death dates and occupations, most actors born in 1992 were not active in as actors in the 20th-century, but a few were).
Theoretically with Petscan, Wikipedia users can search for any intersection of categories they care to. That could be 20th-century film actors, or it could be Cercozoa genera. I saw theoretically, because again, this depends on articles having the relevant categories which they might not. Category:Cercozoa genera is unnecessary if Category:Rhizaria genera and Category:Cercozoa are populated with all relevant articles; Petscan will find the article from the intersection of Cercozoa+Rhizaria genera. But Category:Rhizaria genera isn't necessary either; we could just have Category:Genera (essentially dumping all intersectional categories for taxon ranks and treating categories more like metadata tags).
However, even with a well thought out system of categories, you can't be sure that other editors won't create new subcategories that might pollute your Petscan results with unexpected articles. You certainly can't guarantee that categories won't end up being created for groups with less than 2000 species. You can't guarantee that newly created articles will be placed in the appropriate categories (I have seen new article on fungus species that lack Category:Fungus species; I add the category when I notice it is missing, but I'm not sure I always notice it's absence, nor am I sure if anybody else (Esculenta?) is checking for fungus species articles that lack the category).
