There is plenty of wolves in Central Europe now [1] [2]. Canis lupus communis is an existing subspecies [3]. Sciencia58 (talk) 01:57, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1) What is the source of the map? 2) Wikipedia is not a source in determining the taxonomic validity of a subspecies. Mariomassone (talk) 07:47, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Therefore you should look at the sources under the german article. Sciencia58 (talk) 07:07, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I already have. There's nothing convincing about the validity of communis whatsoever, just an obsolete paper on skull measurements and other sources referencing it. Mariomassone (talk) 09:03, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
