There is no consensus at nowiki on use of this bot, it has not been raised, and the name as such has neither been discussed either. My comment on the name is solely my opinion. I'm not interested in whether it is a pun or not, it has a clear and direct connection to a disease that has killed people and I don't like it.

The bot has other issues, but that is another discussion.

Hi John,

given that the premise of your email is factually incorrect (as
listeria is a pun referring to lists, sharing the name with a family
of bacteria named after Joseph Lister (according to Wikipedia)), is
there now consensus that the is no issue with this bot name and that
the recommendation only applies to picking names in general without
any assertion that this wasn't duly taken into consideration this
time?

Mathias
