[edit] Who?

What does this paragraph near the top mean?

"The Kestrel is also famous for being the nickname of Keri Lynch of Sutton Coldfield. Born on the 25th July, she is sister of King Harry Lynch"

If this is really of any importance, should it not be moved to the Disambiguation page?

In other words, what does this have to do with the bird in question?

it's nonsense. jimfbleak 04:58, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Subgenus Kestrelus?

Are there enough taxonomic data to classify this group of species in it's own subgenus? As it seems by the article there is a rather clear evolutionary lineage for the kestrels to be considered a dinstinct monophyletic group in the Falco genus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.219.127.169 (talk) 14:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was move to Kestrel. Joelito (talk) 17:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Kestrel (bird) → Kestrel – Kestrel is already a redirect to Kestrel (bird), and the bird is the most prominent meaning of the word anyway. Yath 18:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
