Move to Crustacea
Since all the other higher taxa use the scientific name (Malacostraca, Remipedia) rather than the adjective (malacostracan, remipede), I suggest that crustacean be moved to Crustacea, for consistency. Stemonitis 12:08, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Oppose, use common names for animals - malacostracan etc are not common names, crustacean is. Warofdreams 12:55, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose, this is a pretty clearcut case of using the name most common among all English speakers, not just scientists. Now if "crustacean" were an imprecise term not 100% identical with "Crustacea", there would be more of a case. Stan 13:52, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
