David Attenborough

There are 41 taxa listed now in this page named after Sir David Attenborough. I have done a bit of a dive in the past few days, and have found another 6 yet to be listed. We're coming close to 50, and I think it's safe to say this number is bound to keep rising in the future, as the homages will keep pouring in. So I'm thinking that since the number of eponyms is so unusually high, it would be worth making a separate List of things named after David Attenborough and his works, and removing him from this one, adding a link pointing to that list for those interested. I would say this easily passes the WP:N test, as there are lots of articles out there devoted to this specific topic: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], etc... It would also have the advantage of reducing this section of the list, which is again climbing perilously high up in Special:LongPages. Like the List of things named after J. R. R. Tolkien and his works, this page could also include other things apart from species, such as the Attenborough Building or the RRS Sir David Attenborough; and also species named after his works, such as Syracosphaera azureaplaneta. My only misgiving is that the difference between this and the Tolkien list would be that Tolkien still appears in the List of organisms named after famous people (born 1800–1899), and here I am proposing Attenborough's removal from this section of the list altogether; then again, Tolkien only has a handful of eponymous organisms, not dozens. Unless there are opinions to the contrary, I will start drafting the new article this week. El monty (talk) 14:22, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
