Requested move
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Wikiproject Birds is using the IOC World list to standardize english names. The IOC has capitalized the P in Pheasant. All IOC moved english names have capitized the word after the hyphen. Move button is locked. I've placed the move request on the genus page since it involves multiple species.
Don't think we need to follow the rule so rigidly, and it is a strange example now storm petrel (which I think is much more common) is used. And peacock-pheasant is a rather different form of compound from storm-petrel or red-winged Still, I don't much care which name is used here, though suppose we might as well go with the standard. --—

Relisting - Since this is a multi-move and concerns principles that may affect other articles, I'm relisting it to allow for more discussion, and I'm going to leave some notes at relevant WikiProjects to see what more people think. -

Neutral - A large number of sources, both academic and layman, separate the words into 'Peacock Pheasant', depending on how you guys are going to treat it as, I would prefer 'Peacock Pheasant' if they were two words, and 'Peacock-pheasant' if it remains a compound word. Either way... is it really a big deal? -- Obsidi♠nSoul02:33, 27 August 2011 (UTC)reply
It's not, but on Wikipedia people tend to make a big deal out of things that are not. The best way to avoid that is to agree on a standard, and the birds project has done so. That standard prescribes "Peacock-Pheasant" for these animals.

Comment. Looks as if my oppose may be holding this RM up. The link I gave is pretty clear on the issue: "In a hyphenated name, the part after the hyphen is not capitalised." But if there is consensus from the birds project that certain birds should not be subject to this rule (I do get that "Red-winged" is quite different to "Peacock-pheasant"), then that's fine by me. Just add a footnote or something to the relevant guideline and I'll withdraw my oppose.

Comment: Following other groupings with similar capitalization structures (see Monal-Partridges, Cuckoo-Hawks, Harrier-Hawks, Hawk-Eagles, Cuckoo-Doves, Hawk-Cuckoos, etc).......

Fair enough. I've struck my oppose, but it would be great if someone with more knowledge than me on this topic could make a clarification at the relevant guideline.
