Northern Cyprus is only recognised by 1 country (Turkey), is almost universally recognised as being a part of Cyprus, is not included in the IUCN Red List, and as a precedent, the "Mammals of Kosovo" page redirects to "Mammals of Serbia". The source used for the article is a dead link. Therefore, redirect to List of mammals of Cyprus. J0ngM0ng (talk) 01:29, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Fails WP:NLIST, as the classification doesn't meet GNG. Further, the list itself doesn't serve any particular purpose; it is an almost-complete subset of List of mammals of Cyprus, though if someone wants to present a reason why this subset is required, I'm happy to listen.

Redirect. Besides the geopolitics, Cyprus is one island around 200 km across, and all the biotic zones (mainly differentiated by elevation, not north/south east/west divide) are present on both sides of the geopolitical divide. These two articles will remain roughly the same, with differences more likely to arise due to lack of editorial oversight or lack of sources for Northern Cyprus.--Eostrix (^{🦉 hoot} _hoot🦉) 07:20, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I will also note that the two differences in the lists (ignoring the re-ordering of whales) appear to be oversights. Wild goats appear to be on all Cyprus, and the Common bent-wing bat has been spotted in Northern Cyprus as well [1].--Eostrix (^{🦉 hoot} _hoot🦉) 14:07, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Having a list of mammals is not a statement of sovereignty: Many subnational divisions have similar lists. Despite what you may have heard, Texas is not succeeding, despite the existence of List of mammals of Texas. --awkwafaba (📥) 11:56, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless of the sovereignty issue, List of mammals of the United States is different (wider) than List of mammals of Texas (no polar bears, eared seals, or moose in Texas). The same is not true for Cyprus and the subset of Northern Cyprus, it's the same island, same bio zones, and the same mammals.--Eostrix (^{🦉 hoot} _hoot🦉) 12:07, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's unfortunate that Texas is not succeeding. At least they're not seceding. Esculenta (talk) 14:34, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect List of mammals of Cyprus can cover the whole island without issue. Reywas92^Talk 13:50, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per nom. We aren't here to play splitting games with unrelated topics based on a single country's political notions. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:32, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
