Talk:List of historical chimpanzees
I feel List of historical monkeys should be made a redirect to List of historical chimpanzees. There is nothing at all of real substance in List of historical monkeys. List of fictional monkeys and List of historical animals are 'See also's. List of historical apes has the monkeys excluded from it. And the only remaining entry is the one for chimpanzees.

- No. Let's observe proper taxonomy. A chimpanzee is not a monkey, nor vice versa. Chimps are apes however. (I believe the seperate articles are the result of the chimpanzee being an older article, and the person who started the apes not being aware of the chimp one at first.) If we wish to consolodate, perhaps all should be merged in a List of non-human primates? -- Infrogmation 04:44, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Now that the 'List of historical chimpanzees' too has disowned 'List of historical monkeys', the latter can be deleted. Continuing on the above discussion, can't everything be merged into 'List of historical apes' ? Why go for non-human primates ? Jay 09:16, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Because monkeys are non-human primates, but they're not apes.
And if you delete List of historical monkeys after I've gone to the trouble of improving it (instead of just whinging about how bad it was, not that I'm suggesting anything), I shall be very annoyed. —Paul A 14:58, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

- Oh, I didn't know that monkeys are not apes. Good work Paul on the monkey business. I've also added a few links on the page. Jay 12:52, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- While I wouldnt support a redirect to monkeys, what about merging this article with list of historical apes? There is a lot of duplication. --Mishac 06:26, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I plan to remove the word "historical" from the article name. See Talk:List_of_historical_animals for further discussion. Jay 08:39, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I've merged [[List of historical chimpanzees]] back into List of historical apes. --Paul A 04:25, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
