The result was merge to Panthera hybrid.

There are already pages that cover Lion-tiger hybrids, including the animals about them. Lafayette Baguette ^talk 14:24, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Panthera hybrid - I'm assuming that is the article Lafayette Baguette alluded to. --Nessie (talk) 14:57, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Nessie, that's primarily what article I was referring to. There is a full section about lion and tiger hybrids. Lafayette Baguette ^talk 15:00, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Panthera hybrid for sure, though I'm not so sure what would be usable for a merge from this page. Most of it is anecdotal or unsourced, and if anything is added to Panthera hybrid, it probably needs a rewrite from scratch. Kingofaces43 (talk) 15:43, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Panthera hybrid - some useful additional material; specifically, some references for stuff that at this point is marked as unsourced at Panthera_hybrid#Lion_and_tiger_hybrids. I also like the early English records; nice find. I don't think we need a separate article here, however. (And if merging, also please do some serious polishing - this is not exactly a joy to read at the moment :/) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:50, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Panthera hybrid and possibly Felid hybrid. None of these articles are particularly large and all could do with rewriting. One article might be easier to maintain. If the material on any particular hybrid becomes substantial there are in individual hybrid species articles. Jts1882 | talk 16:37, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Panthera hybrid#Lion_and_tiger_hybrids per Elmidae - use the refs to improve the content there. GirthSummit _(blether) 17:16, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Panthera hybrid; I consider references too poor for merging. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 08:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/Merge a redirect seems like the best choice, but the Panthera hybrid article still needs more sources, so any useful source on this article should be added to it. Garlicolive (talk) 15:30, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
