Requested move 20 March 2017

requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Flying lizard →
Flying Lizard – All uncapitalized meanings of the term on this page are merely variations of lizards that are able to fly (or, technically, glide); the only truly ambiguous meanings are capitalized. Move this page to the capitalized tile and redirect the uncapitalized form to
Draco (genus), which encompasses all actual flying lizards.

There are fossil extinct gliding lizards that are not in genus Draco. And, is case of letters enough distinction?

If letter case is not enough, then I would argue that the modern genus is the clear primary topic against extinct kinds, and certainly against the comparatively obscure rock band (which also uses a definite article and plural form) and racing team (which is a partial title match), in which case, I would move this page to
Flying lizard (disambiguation).

Support. An excellent example of one of the many uses of capitalisation to clarify the topic of a page (perhaps we should say scope as it's a DAB).

Support move to
Flying lizard (disambiguation) and redirect uncapitalized
Flying lizard to
Draco (genus). That would appear to be the primary topic. But the dab page should be decapitalized, since most of the topics on it (the lizard species) use lower case.--

Support this alternative (change of !vote). On reflection
Cuchullain is quite right, the style of the DAB title should follow that of the articles listed, and the genus is the PT.

I am fine with that option also. My primary point is the primary topic.
