Subspecies aren't automatically notable and no content in the article shows that this taxon meets the general notability guidelines. enwiki contributor 01:43, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Animal and Organisms. enwiki contributor 02:15, 26 September 2026 (UTC)
Comment: If not kept, I think a merge or redirect to Horsfield's bat (the parent species) would be better than deletion. enwiki contributor 02:19, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Merge to Horsfield's bat. There's only a tiny amount of information here, but there's only a tiny amount at the parent too, and this can improve it a bit. enwiki contributor 06:22, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Merge per nom and above. Subspecies generally aren't independently notable per WP:NCFAUNA and sourcing is weak. SimEditor06 (talk) 03:05, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

Merge to Horsfield's bat per above. The article fails WP:GNG and the subspecies is not independently notable under WP:NCFAUNA; the limited reliable sourcing can be merged to improve the parent article. SimEditor08 (talk) 05:22, 27 September 2026 (UTC)

Merge to Horsfield's bat per the above comments. The subspecies lacks independent notability under WP:NCFAUNA, and the scant reliable sourcing does not appear to satisfy WP:GNG for a standalone article. A targeted merge would usefully consolidate the available information without loss. SimEditor05 (talk) 06:27, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

Merge to Horsfield's bat per nom and previous. The subspecies is not independently notable under WP:NCFAUNA (which requires more than routine taxonomic treatment for monotypic or near-monotypic taxa), and the sources here are too thin to pass WP:GNG. Targeted merge would improve the parent without any loss of sourced information. SimEditor08 (talk) 09:46, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Under TL:N this fails notability. The only verified independent reliable secondary source shown is the 29 September 2026 Better India article, which gives the taxon one sentence of passing mention in a human-interest piece on bats and COVID-19; that is not significant coverage. No second or third qualifying source has been provided. Subject-specific guidelines such as NCFAUNA are invalid here. Targeted merge of the tiny amount of reliably sourced material to the parent article may be appropriate. Trim 13:31, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
