:::The sources don't lie: Google: {{tq|"Sebright chicken" -Wikipedia}}[//www.google.com/search?q="Sebright+chicken"+-Wikipedia&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8]. Everyone, everywhere, all the time disambiguates breed names by appending the species (e.g. "chicken") or a synonym of it (e.g. "fowl") after the breed name whenever writing or speaking about a breed to people who are not necessarily going to be certain what they're referring to. This is universal, across all domestic animals, in English and I'd bet good money most other languages. [[WP:PRECISION]] is perfectly satisfied by this natural disambiguation. We've already been over this, and I've demonstrated this many times. You're confusing the idea "someone familiar with the subject would never use it in a context in which what they meant was already clear, e.g. in a chicken-related publication or forum" with the very different and easily, already disproven idea "someone familiar with the subject would never use it in any context, ever". And again, no one is making the case that the formal breed name include the species; that would be Sebright Chicken. No one's making thta claim about any breeds of any kind except those where the inclusion of the species in the breed name is reliably sourced as essentially universal (e.g. [[American Quarter Horse]], [[Norwegian Forest Cat]]. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''' ☺]] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ </span> 10:23, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

I pointed you multiple times to the [[Sebright (chicken)]]. There are others as well. There is also large fowl without a corresponding bantam breed.

::::* Okay, then clearly we need "Foo Bantam" for any breed where there is only a bantam form, or for which there are larger one as well but the bantam form has its own article. I agree that it's generally not desirable to have separate articles in the latter cases, but this is not a merge proosal. This doesn't affect the naming discussion otherwise. If "Foo" is a classified as a breed, with two forms, do "Foo chicken" (natural disambiguation). If they're treated as separate breeds but we want to cover them both in one article, "Foo chickens". This is not rocket science. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''' ☺]] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ </span> 10:23, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
