I propose that this page should be split into two pages; Mollusca and Hypothetical ancestral mollusc. The section on the HAM in this article is quite extensive and I think that it warrants its own article. The HAM is not something that is necessarily vital to an article about mollusca in general, and would be better suited as its own subject. Please comment whether you agree or disagree with the proposal. Di (they-them) (talk) 21:02, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

- While I agree with the split in principle, it seems to me that the current section supposedly on the HAM actually contains the entire anatomy and apart from the lead should probably just be renamed. Felix QW (talk) 20:58, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose, as User:Felix QW points out, the problem is the name of the section, which if retitled "Anatomy" or "Anatomical commonalities" would be a superior solution. Abductive (reasoning) 00:25, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose. The HAM section is literally the anatomy and biology section of molluscs. It may sound like it only applies to a hypothetical common ancestor, but if you read it you will see that it talks about all molluscs too. It should be kept as it is an essential part to understanding what molluscs even are and how they function. —Snoteleks (Talk) 10:09, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose. Just rename section as "Anatomy" (and "Definiition" section as "Description"). Loopy30 (talk) 21:19, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose. The HAM section is misnamed and should be titled "Anatomy" or "Biology". Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 15:39, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
