Merge

I'm not sure why this can't just be merged into the Stegosaurus article? If we want to mention the specimen, there's a history section for that, or the popular culture article. FunkMonk (talk) 21:39, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

agree. --Gaff (talk) 05:49, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if you add this sentence to that article, merging is okay, until someone wants to make a full article out of this. Go for it. MicroPaLeo (talk) 06:00, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where would it fit better? There's also Stegosaurus in popular culture, but since it's a fossil, I think it belongs in the main article, which could need some more info about discoveries I think. FunkMonk (talk) 11:55, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It would be possible to expand this enough to get a DYK out of it, then merge to the main article. The famous T Rex fossil has its own article. Still, this would work best expanded in the main stegosaurs article; not the pop culture article. --Gaff (talk) 15:48, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess you're referring to Sue. That is a much more notable specimen in the sense that many scientific papers have been written based on it, it thought us new things about the genus, it has been known for a long time and has a complicated history, and there was even a recent documentary about it. Little can be said about Sophie by comparison (for now), other than what the various press releases say. FunkMonk (talk) 15:52, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is still a tiny, useless stub, time to merge? FunkMonk (talk) 18:36, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, definitely. IJReid ^{{{T - C - D - R}}} 14:41, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
