Name capitalization

@

MOS:TITLECAPS, so it was not adopted for this and consistent titling reasons. As notable sources use the decapitalized spelling
, I added it as "stylized as" to the lead.

I ask you detail your argument more thoroughly than "thats not really a style." Regards IgelRM (talk) 08:41, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@IgelRM: No it makes sense that "Life Is Strange" transitioned to "Life is Strange: Subtitle". Its more of a typo that got phased out rather than an intentional stylization.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 12:25, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I do not fully understand what you are saying. Although the spelling in official material was not always consistent, setting and later changing the product title capitalization of an already released game on the Steam Store page is not trivial. In any way, you have not explained why the decapitalized spelling does not qualify for "stylized as". IgelRM (talk) 19:15, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@
Ke$ha
are examples of stylization because they replace actual letters Steam pages are the one and only place to see the quote-on-quote stylization as opposed to the multiple sources out there showing it with a lowercase "i" in "is", then its most likely a revision of what the title is.
So i'm removing it because it's not a stylization choice. With that said, I don't believe the correct title for any of these games is "Life Is Strange". grammatically, the "is" is lowercase and it looks like Square Revised their title to be grammatically correct. All the other sources as well follow the common spelling of "Life is Strange" as well.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I decided to bring it up to
WT:VG about it, and see if this is a good idea.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 20:19, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply

Now I can follow your argumentation, although I do not fully agree. However, it is in some ways contradicting to @
Lordtobi: argumentation on the original game's article, which deemed the "stylization" to be "not extraordinary enough for attribution" at the time. IgelRM (talk) 20:22, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply

Again, this is not a stylization. if anything, the original "Life Is Strange" is closer stylization because that's not grammatically correct. But since Square Enix has revised their title, tells me the quote-on-quote stylization was never intentional to begin with.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 20:34, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Max Caulfield into Life Is Strange

Character notable for one video game Andre🚐 18:20, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. No adequate rationale had been provided to support the proposed merge. There are plenty of fictional characters who have appeared in only one video game (or film or TV show etc) but has been subject to significant coverage specifically about their development and reception, so such a simplistic reason does not fly. For the record, Max Caulfield has technically appeared in more then one video game with
Life is Strange: Before the Storm. The result of a 2019 AfD about the topic was a clear consensus that it passes WP:GNG and is thus entitled to a standalone article. Haleth (talk) 01:56, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply
]
My mistake. I thought it was just one game. And the prior AFD wasn't tagged on the talk page; I'll add it. I'm sorry - it is there. It just wasn't on this page. I must have missed it. Andre🚐 02:05, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe a "List of characters in the Life Is Strange series" article consolidating the now many separate character articles would work? Most of the opinion pieces cited as passing WP:GNG seem to be on the whole about one of the games. Looking at the article, for example Max and Chloe are nominated together for Polygon's best characters list. IgelRM (talk) 23:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think that would be a good idea. Andre🚐 23:30, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I created Draft:List of Life Is Strange characters, help appreciated. Believe the potential content should suffice and avoiding the every Pokemon articles situation. @Andrevan @Haleth @KlayCax IgelRM (talk) 15:30, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Life Is Strange (comics)

Life Is Strange (comics) redirects here but has substantial text after the #REDIRECT directive. Please can an editor familiar with the subject un-redirect, merge, delete or otherwise deal with the content? Pinging contributors 2pou and MaximumMadnessStixon. Thanks, Certes (talk) 12:04, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Certes. Sorry, but I have no familiarity with the topic. My edits used tools that don't go to the edit window, and I didn't even realize all that content was there. The edits just came about when I was cleaning up an RM that I closed, I believe. Good luck. -2pou (talk) 14:44, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's interesting, 2pou. We're cleaning up a list of redirects with content (which no one will see unless they use &redirect=no). If they're being produced semi-automatically, we may need to look at the tool. Certes (talk) 14:54, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Certes, just to be clear, the tools I used did not contribute to the commented out content below the redirect. Capricorn simply changed the section anchor reference of the redirect, and DisamAssist simply changed the redirect target link from a temporary disambiguation page to the page after it had been moved. It looks like the commented out text has been in there, in part, since its creation, and it was expanded a few edits later. I'm guessing those editors thought there was potential to build an article, but then it got lost on the back burner. -2pou (talk) 18:42, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I'm glad the tools are behaving! Perhaps we need a wider debate about how to store these drafts and whether below the #REDIRECT line is a good place for that. I know it's condoned in some cases: the RfD banner encourages the creation of a draft whilst retaining the redirect (which doesn't activate due to that banner, but that's another story).
