Do Common Names Need A "Reliable Source"?

This comment from staff says that this name should definitely be acceptable:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-add-a-common-name-to-a-taxon/9792/16
It specifically references names from Entsoc…hard to get more definitive than that.

I went ahead and added the common name along with a reference to EntSoc, scientific publications, and the forum post referenced above.
