![]() | On 27 June 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Turquoise-fronted amazon to Blue-fronted Amazon. The result of the discussion was moved. |
The result of the move request was move. Jafeluv ( talk) 12:24, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Turquoise-fronted Amazon → Blue-fronted Amazon — The species has a very popular name of "Blue-fronted Amazon", which has been the stable name of this article since the page was started in 2004. If there is no consensus supporting the new name, then the page move should be reverted. Snowman ( talk) 09:31, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Turquoise-fronted amazon → Blue-fronted Amazon – This might be a controversial one. Looking back over some of the discussions over the names of bird (and particularly parrot) articles, some of them have got VERY heated. Not my intention to offend anyone or troll, but as I was editing tonight I decided to do a search on Google Scholar for this species (as something else I came across made me think to look it up). As far as I am concerned, "blue-fronted Amazon" is the vastly, vastly, overwhelmingly accepted name for this birdie. According to Google Scholar - "blue fronted amazon" = 1850 results, while turquoise-fronted amazon = 153 results. As I understand it, the species name was changed by the International Ornithologists' Union a few years ago - but it doesn't really seem to have been taken up. Should this be moved back, per WP:COMMONNAME? Iloveparrots ( talk) 20:30, 27 June 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Adumbrativus ( talk) 04:13, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
Oppose move - keep as turquoise-fronted amazon. This is the IOC name and editors of Wikiproject Birds have decided to follow the IOC taxonomy and names. "The IOC is also the de facto standard for English bird names." See here
The South American Classification Committee of the AOU (SACC) uses "Turquoise-fronted parrot". They discussed the English name in 2011 - See Note 37 here: "Formerly (e.g., Meyer de Schauensee 1970) called "Turquoise-fronted Parrot" but changed for no apparent reason to “Blue-fronted” in many recent treatments (e.g. Sibley & Monroe 1990, Collar 1997, Juniper and Parr 1998, Clements 2000, Forshaw 2010). SACC proposal passed to restore “Turquoise-fronted.”" See SACC proposal 498.
I checked on which name was used by the bird lists:
"Working Group Avian Checklists" aims to harmonise the world lists - but as of June 2022 they hadn't looked at parrots - see here - Aa77zz ( talk) 10:01, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
Post-move note: The proposal appears to have included a suggestion to change the capitalization from "amazon" to "Amazon". I don't know whether anyone noticed that during the discussion (I didn't). After the move was closed, the lowercase was retained rather than using the suggested uppercase. — BarrelProof ( talk) 23:28, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Festive amazon which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 19:17, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
