I recommend the species Bilby articles are merged with the main Bilby article. For a start, the species articles are stubs, and adding information from them would basically be repeating information placed on the main article. Following on from that, as the genus article covers only one species (as 1 out of 2 is extinct), it is practically a species page anyway, written with all the information that is found in a species article, based on one species (the Greater Bilby). Additionally, the search "Bilby" comes up with the Genus article, and I'm fairly sure most would expect it to result in the Greater Bilby page. Based on these reasons, I think the articles should be merged (I have copied this to all 3 bilby talk pages, to keep discussion on one page, please discuss on the

I hope I have managed to expand the Lesser Bilby article beyond a stub and to a point where merging it with the Greater Bilby Article would not be the best idea. While default search results should point to the surviving Greater Bilby species, the Lesser Bilby having a different distribution, behavior and diffrent species history should retain a page of his own.
