As to the suggestion to merge "botanical nomenclature" and "ICBN". Yes, at moment content of both items is fairly similar, so this is a sensible suggestion. However, "botanical nomenclature" is intended as the cornerstone of the category of the same name, while "ICBN" should refer not so much to the phenomenon of "botanical nomenclature" as to the means whereby this is ruled, the "ICBN". But both would profit by further attention. I will see if I can do something. Brya 07:06, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree. This article should be the primary organizing center for all articles on the naming of plants, while the ICBN is a codification of rules and decisions about name. Botanical nomenclature began long before the ICBN existed. --EncycloPetey 17:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
