• Keep. Not sure what relevance Wikipedia is not a dictionary has for the proposed AfD of this article? Any further explanation? Article is a stub yes, but it is for a named species of ground beetle and is appropriately described in biological terms. There is definitely an issue with this name referring to a synonym of another species in the genus Harpalus [http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/14998765 suggested here] and [https://fauna-eu.org/cdm_dataportal/taxon/fc722fff-9938-4a6a-b7bd-1faac8ef9195 here] and the taxonomic nomenclature of ground beetles is somewhat changeable - but that is a wider issue for resolution within the articles and is not actually referred to in the initial AfD reasoning. So purely on being against the proposed reason, I am voting Keep. The in line reference is not ideal yes, but see WP:NEXIST. Taxonomic issues aside, as a species level article it certainly meets Wikipedia:WikiProject Insects#Criteria for inclusion . There are over 20,000 [https://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Beetle&importance=Low-Class&quality=Stub-Class Stub class beetle articles] so I'm not sure why this particular article has been flagged for deletion.Zakhx150 (talk) 13:17, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
