Law's Diving-goose → Chendytes lawi —

• I cant find any compelling evidence that "Law's Diving-goose" is a name actually used for Chendytes lawi outside of wikipedia and wiki mirrors. Google scholar searches show no results for the term "Law's Diving-goose" but a number for Chendytes lawi.--Kevmin (talk) 23:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

• Support, even if Law's Diving-goose is used a little. —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 01:22, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the move innotata. --Kevmin (talk) 23:14, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Splitting proposal

I propose this page be split into Chendytes and Chendytes lawi. There were two species of Chendytes, and Chendytes milleri now has its own page. For this page, 'tis time to split. Have one page for the genus as a whole and another page for C. lawi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zach Varmitech (talk • contribs) 23:27, 30 October 2020 (UTC) @Dinoguy2:

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me — and indeed necessary, if there are now two species recognized in the genus. MeegsC (talk) 13:29, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

With prehistoric species, we generally cover them in the genus article. FunkMonk (talk) 13:35, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Seems to me that this article should be moved to Chendytes lawi and then the redirect left at Chendytes changed to a brief article on the genus: "Chendytes is a genus in the family ... There are two species ...". —  Jts1882 | talk  13:41, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

However, responding to FunkMonk's comment on prehistoric species, the alternative is merging the two species into one article on the genus. Either way, the current arrangement of two articles should be changed. —  Jts1882 | talk  13:43, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Merge here, as noted by FunkMonk, the WP:Paleo guideline is cover the taxa in at the genus level, meaning Chendytes milleri shouold be merged into this article, with appropriate clean-up of the article at the same time.--Kevmin § 21:17, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Merge here and refocus per FunkMonk. There's not really any reason to have a separate article for yet another species stub. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:03, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Merge here as per above. While there is information on Chendytes, it is still an obscure prehistoric genus. Prehistoric genera and species are treated at the genus article. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 22:46, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

"Exploitation"

The repeated use of "exploitation" is very loaded/subjective phrasing. The clear implication is that humans were overbearing predators destroying the ducks' populations, but if humans had been preying on Chendytes for over 8,000 years, then surely there must have been some level of stability in that relationship? 64.50.95.2 (talk) 18:19, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
