Article has no information in it. Merge would be the best idea to me. Talking image ( talk) 00:35, 6 March 2010 (UTC) reply

It could, and it is not the same thing as Endangered species. I think we need these articles on the different IUCN Red List ranks. — innotata 17:21, 2 April 2010 (UTC) reply

I think it is better to keep separate as Endangered and Threatened are 2 different categories on the IUCN Red List with different scientific criteria. As are Critically Endangered, Extinct, Near Extinct, and Data Deficient. nallan ( talk) 19:18, 28 April 2010 (UTC) reply

This article shouldn't be merged. Like Nallan said: Endangered and Threatened are 2 different categories. Srudes2 ( talk) 18:44, 12 May 2010 (UTC) reply

If some examples of vulnerable species along with pictures are added to the article, a merge won't be necessary Greynade ( talk) 02:18, 3 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Agreed, but right now Vulnerable species is a stub, so I would recommend merging unless big changes happen soon. 98.240.240.47 ( talk) 21:26, 8 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Hopefully the latter; It would make sense for Vulnerable Species to be its own article, just as all the other categories/criteria are. Greynade ( talk) 02:45, 10 June 2010 (UTC) reply
