Query

Since this is a subspecies, might it not be better to move this article to Moss' Elfin or Callophrys mossii and turn the current content into a section? 140.163.188.71 22:54, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This suggestion is a very bad idea for several reasons:

The San Bruno elfin butterfly is an important subject in and of itself and deserves an entire page due to the depth of info available about it.
The other articles need to exist and be substantive for this to be a subject even worth discussing
Any endangered species warrants a full page on its own. Anlace 19:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
