Talk:Teeswater sheep: Difference between revisions

This convincingly shows that breeds have formal names ("Asturian Mountain", " Asturian Valley", "Finnish Ayrshire", "Dorset Down", etc.) to which capitalized species ("Cattle", "Pig", "Sheep" etc. are usually not appended, yet that {{em|they are regularly [[WP:NATURAL]]ly disambiguated by reliable sources in the real world, by appending lower-case species}}. This proves beyond any shadow of doubt that such a practice is not weird here, "a made up name", unnatural, etc. Natural disambiguation is a natural feature of the English language. THat's {{em|why}} it's called that. There is abosolutely no case make here for using unnatural, parenthetical disambiguation. Closing this RM, against prior agreement to not do a ''status quo ante'' revert, with a result that leads to just such a ''status quo ante'' revert, is simply going to lead in turn to a large number of renewed on-the-merits RM requests to put the articles at naturally disambiguated names, since both policy and reliable sources support this, and no argument backed by either can be or has been made for parenthetical. I'm prepared to make an RS list like the above for every single case on this list if that's what it takes to put a stop to this "let's make up random rules as we go along that are different for geese and for guineapigs and for ferrets". Enough of that nonsense. We have an article titles policy for a reason. [[WP:AT]] + [[WP:RS]] &gt; [[WP:ILIKEIT]], and there's no way around that, so let's stop stalling. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''' ☺]] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ </span> 18:07, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
