An IP requested this be nominated for deletion for as "an indiscriminate collection of items from several loosely-related topics," so I am putting it up for discussion. 28bytes (talk) 00:47, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but move back to List of famous birds because that's what it is (it was moved in 2008). It's a reasonable topic, although I think the selection criteria could be refined, it could use cleanup to comply with MOS:LIST, and the entries could be referenced (assuming references can be found in the linked articles).

@28bytes: would you be able to link to the IP's request? I looked in the usual places but can't find it. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 18:12, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, it was a request on my talk page. 28bytes (talk) 19:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete an unadvised merger of unlike things.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:59, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename List of individual birds, delete the fictional ones (there's already a List of fictional birds), the constellations and the groups. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:44, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and rescope as proposed by Ivanvector. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:16, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename as per above; neutral between List of individual birds and List of famous birds for a new name. It is a valid WP:SAL as far as the individual real birds on it are concerned, and no other list on that topic appears to exist. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:17, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename to List of individual birds per Clarityfiend. Prefer individual birds to famous birds as that is the naming convention used in several other pages, see Category:Lists of individual animals. DferDaisy (talk) 23:05, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but move back to List of famous birds. "Individual" for almost everything animal is a silly title. There is a "List of fictional birds" --BeckenhamBear (talk) 13:23, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename to List of individual birds per established precedent._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 21:16, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment to aid closer: List of individual birds works for me just fine. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 21:27, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
