Revision

This article was renamed from "List of historical birds" to allow for fictional items to be added. The section titles were revised and reordered accordingly. B00P (talk) 22:54, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I liked "List of historical birds" better. I am particularly adverse to the use of the word "famous" in article titles. Why not revert to that and make a "List of fictional birds". They can then list each other under the /*See also*/. --Bejnar (talk) 00:14, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While the article could be split, to do so would really serve no purpose. We'd merely wind up with two short pages instead of one. Readers who are interested in both would be forced to click on the link to get from one to the other - not a great burden, but certainly not an advantage. As it stands, readers uninterested in both need only not bother to read the section they don't care about.

The only "plus" that I can come up with is that it would increase the number of articles in English Wikipedia by one. So what?

While the suggestion has merit, I'd say that the article is too short to warrant splitting. B00P (talk) 07:11, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
