Oppose for now. Until the town article develops some content, if that is possible, the bird is much more interesting. The geographical co-ordinates for the town show an area of Angola with nothing but tree cover.

That's also true of some towns in the U.S. ;) and rural municipalities can be notable. Anyway, that's kinda irrelevant since this is merely a misspelling for the bird's name as far as I can tell—there are
very few results on Google Books. Half of them are intended to be the scientific name, and scientific names can only be spelled one way, so they're obviously wrong. I don't think a trivial misspelling is worth elevating over any topic, and a hatnote will help anyone looking for the bird. —

Request - Innotata, can you please run a "bird" "quela" check in Google Books to establish if the misspelling is ever used by reputable modern sources? Thanks. (FWIW there's also Quela music in 1950s South Africa, but perhaps this derives from Angola).

Yes, it's used a few times—but misspellings and typos exist. For the
scientific name, as with most instances, it's just an obviously wrong misspelling.
This source clearly is sloppy with the titles of its sources.
This one less so, but it's again a misspelled word in a citation of a journal article. That just leaves
a fewworks not on birds. Apart from books, there's BBC News and National Geographic articles, but they aren't immune from misspelling either. Actually, I can't find it in any old books; it seems to be an innovation in sloppiness. —
