Nomen dubium? Or synonym of Rhabdodon or Zalmoxes?[edit]

What is Ornithomerus? Is it fair to say that it's a nomen dubium? It barely seems to have gotten any attention recently, but when it has been synonymised with either Rhabdodon or Zalmoxes rather than being explicitly designated a nomen dubium (at least according to this article), so I'm unsure how exactly we should treat it. On the list of dinosaur genera page it's labelled as "junior synonym of Rhabdodon".

If it is best to call it dubious rather than a junior synonym I'll give it the nomina dubia category and place it in the nomina dubia section of the ornithopod navbox. But if it is a junior synonym it should probably be merged. Zigongosaurus1138 (talk) 17:16, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
