Review (criteria)	Comment stellata is a forma (Patella caerulea f. stellata), not even a subspecies. Do we have separate scopes for formas too now? พ.s. 11:28, 30 November 2011 (UTC)  Comment You're right, sorry, my mistake. I corrected it, also in the descripion page. --Llez (talk) 14:54, 30 November 2011 (UTC)  Support Good now --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:35, 1 December 2011 (UTC)  Oppose My main bone of contention was not the name of the organism in the scope but the taxonomic resolution. พ.s. 09:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)  Comment I think, if we have a number of scopes for a single plant species (habitus, bark, flower, leaves, fruits, seeds, products made of them) then it should also be allowed to have different scopes for a single animal species, especially if the forms are quite different. A set would only be useful, if we have pictures of all forms (which we haven't), otherwise it would be incomplete. --Llez (talk) 09:12, 1 December 2011 (UTC) I think this approach is legitimate if the variety is not formally recognized as a synonym.--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 11:13, 1 December 2011 (UTC) When in doubt of how detailed a scope can be, we have the fallback question: Is it visually distinct? As I understand this forma is visually distinct from other forma, and thus a valid scope in my opinion. --Slaunger (talk) 16:36, 2 December 2011 (UTC) Yes, they are well differentiable. Please compare this shell with the typical form [1], the forma "aspersa" [2], the forma "fragilis" [3] --Llez (talk) 22:05, 2 December 2011 (UTC)  Support - minor varieties of species may have their own scopes IMO. --Claritas (talk) 10:30, 15 December 2011 (UTC) Result: 2 support, 1 oppose => promoted.
