Deletion of List of pollinators of Oregon

Comment: The nominator's rationale is without merit, as Gaff points out in the first comment; there is not and never has been a rule that we can only list things by place if they are exclusive to that place. Division by state lines makes sense because 1) plenty of reliable sources catalog flora and fauna by state; and 2) state-level agencies have a significant role in stewardship and policymaking over managed public lands, wild ecosystems, and agriculture, to all of which pollinators are specifically relevant and significant. My concern is with whether we have verified that these species actually act as pollinators within this state and are not merely found there (do pollinators act as such all throughout their range? what if they migrate and so aren't there during the right season?), and there may be also be little informational value if we can't do more than individually spot check the odd species here or there.  might be a good approach unless we can find a more comprehensive source on this specific topic
