The citation for the population of Himalayan brown bears refers only to the population within the Deosai region. If there are only 35 of these animals left in the world, they would be considered extremely endangered and the article should make that clear. -- 67.183.24.72 01:31, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
The Himalayan Red Bear and the Himalayan Brown Bear are the same taxon. It is not allowed for a species and a subspecies in the same genus to have the same epithet. Basically, the HRB article can be 90% scrapped, it is full of errors and has little worthwhile to add. The describer's name is not part of the scientific name, and it does not get italicized anyway, and the genus Spelaeus is not valid anymore, etc. Dysmorodrepanis ( talk) 12:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
/info/en/?search=Bryan_Sykes#Hominid_samples The samples were subsequently re-analysed by Ceiridwen Edwards and Ross Barnett. They concluded that the mutation that had led to the match with a polar bear was in fact a damage artefact, and suggested that the two hair samples were in fact from Himalayan brown bears (U. arctos isabellinus). These bears are known in Nepal as Dzu-the (a Nepalese term meaning cattle-bear), and have been associated with the myth of the yeti.[12][13] Sykes and Melton acknowledged that their GenBank search was in error and but suggested that the hairs were instead a match to a modern polar bear specimen "from the Diomede Islands in the Bering Sea reported in the same paper”. They maintained that they did not see any sign of damage in their sequences and commented that they had “no reason to doubt the accuracy of these two sequences any more than the other 28 presented in the paper”.[14] Kortoso ( talk) 20:13, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
There is no real reason to associate Stobbart's information with the term "Dzu-Teh," however, and the use of the term by him, a non-native, can only have been presumptive. original research?

The IUCN Classification in the infobox is listed as Critically Endangered, but the cited IUCN document lists all Brown Bears as Least Concern, which is noted in the article itself [1].

Usually, we do NOT list the status of taxa in each + every country of occurrence in the taxobox. If national assessments of either species or subspecies exist that differ in the various IUCN Red List categories, then we reference these in the section #Threats or #Conservation. This at least is standard in all the articles on my watchlist. That is why I moved the status of the Himalayan brown bear in range countries into the section #Status and conservation, see this revision. However, the new editor MattPC3O keeps on insisting to place status in different countries and regions into the taxobox + reverted my edits several times. How should we handle this issue, both in this case + in regards to other taxa ? @ Elmidae, UtherSRG, Jts1882, and SilverTiger12: : please comment. – BhagyaMani ( talk) 09:17, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
