Just in case, here's the 1939 paper that first doubted the validity, could be nice to cite:
http://extinct-website.com/pdf/p0479-p0480.pdf (Dysmorodrepanis Munroi Probably not a Valid form Auk Volume 56, Number 4, October, 1939. Greenway, J. C., Jr.)
Even though it was since confirmed valid, the early objections could be elaborated a bit more, for example the fact that only one specimen was collected, and that it was also considered a hybrid (Hume 2012).
"The Lānaʻi Hookbill is only known to have eaten the fruit of the ōpuhe.[5] It is considered likely that the hookbill additionally ate ʻakoko fruits due to their similarity in size and shape to those of the ōpuhe." The type specimen was apparently collected while feeding on akoko fruit (Hume 2012, after Perkins 1919), so this sentence seems misleading.
"The species was undescribed by the native Hawaiians." The use of "described" seems odd, as this would refer to scientific description. Unknown by instead? Not recorded by?
The diagram illustration seems a bit too simplified and leaves out some pattern details, perhaps the author could be contacted about this?
I'll ask Shyamal to include more white in the throat and the arc towards the eye as well as turn the wing feathers black with yellow edges. Shyamal is fairly busy right now, so not sure how long it will take.

That's ok, as long as it is done at some point, won't prevent this from becoming GA. He used this
[1] image as reference, so I'm surprised the white stripe and other things are missing. There's a nice large image here:

It's a nice article, and I'm happy someone else is starting to seriously work on extinct bird articles, they really need some love. I'll pass this next time you respond.
