Tree frog → TreefrogTreefrog – Treefrog is recognized as one word rather than two by many leading sources. For reference see principal databases like the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List (example: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/55687/112715618), Amphibian Species of the World 6.0 by the American Museum of Natural History (https://amphibiansoftheworld.amnh.org/Amphibia/Anura/Hylidae), and Amphibiaweb (example: https://amphibiaweb.org/cgi/amphib_query?where-genus=Hyla&where-species=versicolor). Many scientific journals also list this as one word like in ZOOTAXA 4104 "Phylogenetics, classification, and biogeography of the treefrogs" Duellman et al. 2016. Some species' Wikipedia pages already reflect this as well like Gray treefrog. "Tree frog" as two words is also sometimes still used, but it seems that "Treefrog" is more common. Me3420 (talk) 00:08, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Discussion rather than an undiscussed move would probably be best for this. —BarrrelProof (talk) 01:52, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • This seems more potentially controversial than a purely technical matter. I'd say this certainly needs a discussion before a move. Hog Farm _Bacon 01:55, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. Webster's dictionary and Dictionary.com have it as two words. And the Google Ngrams show a clear preference for it being two words. Rreagan007 (talk) 06:30, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Per Rreagan007._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 16:23, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose After seeing the Google Ngrams data, it does appear that although both terms are used, "Tree Frog" is more common in most works so it should stay as the page title here - although the page should continue to show in the first line that both terms are used. Consequently, I would like to propose changing Wikipedia page titles for individual species that show "Treefrog" to "Tree frog", like on the above-mentioned Gray Treefrog page.
