Propose renaming (moving) article from Caloenas to Nicobar Pigeon

This would be in line with the guideline on using common names, and would be consistent with other Columbidae genera that have only a single species. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brambleshire (talk • contribs) 17:20, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not support: as you can read in the article Caloenas consists of three different species (which are still valid). --Melly42 (talk) 17:47, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, right. Okay, thanks for setting me straight.--Brambleshire (talk) 17:58, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
