Embiotocidae → Surfperch

• Request move from scientific name to unambiguous common name, currently a redirect here. —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 18:32, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
• These fishes are not among the groups the most commonly spoken and known of :: leave them at the scientific name? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Whatever do you mean? The name is used commonly enough, and by FishBase. It doesn't refer to any other fish as far as I can tell from Google Scholar, and all Embiotocidae with common names seem to be called surfperches. —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 17:19, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

To clarify: those listed here with names other than "surfperch" have alternative names including this and/or similar names. —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 01:13, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

• Support per WP:UCN. No evidence of ambiguity has been presented in the weeks since the nomination. — AjaxSmack 03:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
