Make this the baobab article?[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 16:44, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adansonia digitata → Baobab – The common name so that "baobab" has an article and it refers to these species. It was determined in previous move discussions that this species in scientific literature is referred to under the term "baobab". See Talk:Adansonia#Requested_move_1_May_2016. Bod (talk) 18:20, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Baobab can refer to the entire genus, and there are incoming links to that title that are not about Adansonia digitata. In the cited previous move request, I pointed out that many of the incoming links to baobab could be refined to a more precise target, which is frequently Adansonia digitata. That is not the same as a determination that A. digitata is the primary topic of baobab. Baobabs are strongly associated with Madagascar, and A. digitata is not native to Madagascar. Encyclopedia Britannica's article on baobabs is about the genus. The situation here is similar to dandelion and sunflower, where the vernacular name redirects to the genus, but there is one very common species in the genus (Taraxacum officinale and Helianthus annuus) that is often, but not always, the intended referent of "dandelion"/"sunflower".

de Brazza's engraving[edit]

Why did de Brazza and his companions Dolisie, Chavannes and Ballay engrave "EB 1887" when they made a stop in 1877? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panscient (talk • contribs) 16:05, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arabic name[edit]

In Arabic the word 'Bao-bab' means tree with a gate or hole in it. This refers to the common situation of the trunk getting hollowed out.
