 * Was speedily redirected to T. rex. I support this course of action, but let’s see what other people think first. — Ungoliant (falai) 17:29, 23 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I did that. I support it, because that is the likely thing people are searching for when they type "T. Rex".  Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 17:33, 23 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete band name sense, but keep entry as an alternative spelling of T. rex. There are enough citations to support this capitalization:
 * 2004, Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper, p. 374:
 * I mean, not only are they found on Australia alone, like some kind of mutant evolutionary strain—they have the eyes of deer and the useless paws of a T. Rex.
 * 2007, Douglas Preston, Tyrannosaur Canyon, p. 105:
 * In this body of water lived a predator even bigger than she, the fifty-foot-long crocodilian known as Deinosuchus, the only animal capable of killing a T. Rex unwise enough to venture into the wrong body of water in pursuit of prey.
 * 2008, Victoria Minnich, Question Reality: An Investigation of Self-Humans-Environment, Part 2, p. 454:
 * [I]f Terra introduced some T. Rexes from Cocos island in Jurassic Park, that would be considered kind of “unethical,” so might as well do it through government.

 * Since the creator linked "1967" and "Marc Bolan" from the definition, he apparently thought he was on Wikipedia. Strong delete: rock bands are not dictionary material. Equinox ◑ 20:13, 24 June 2014 (UTC)


 * delete before I go ahead and add Scooter. -- Liliana • 20:16, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you OK with it being recreated as a hard-redirect to T. rex, or having the alt of T. Rex definition added instead? Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 20:25, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Of course that's what she means, pbp, the alt sense didn't even exist until I just now added it. I have converted this to an RfV-sense with respect to the band, which should be deleted. bd2412 T 14:16, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
