Synonymy of Ornithomimus elegans with Chirostenotes[edit]

Sues (1997) demonstrated that Ornithomimus elegans Parks, 1933 is a junior synonym of Chirostenotes. Therefore, remove Elmisaurus elegans from the Elmisaurus page and place it in synonymy with Chirostenotes.

Sues, H.-D. (1997). "On Chirostenotes, a Late Cretaceous oviraptorosaur (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from western North America." Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 17 (4): 698-716.

Good enough for me, as long as there are no more recent publications that still argue for placement in Elmisaurus.Dinoguy2 00:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nomingia merge proposal[edit]

Nomingia has recently been found to be a synonym of Elmisaurus. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0254564 Magnatyrannus (talk) 03:07, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

By a single source, we need to wait a few years to judge if there is any agreement from other researchers. FunkMonk (talk) 03:26, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with FunkMonk, we need consensus to act. There is not a consensus to lump. IJReid ^{{{T - C - D - R}}} 23:57, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
