For context, see List of songs recorded by the Beatles, List of songs recorded by the Beach Boys, List of songs recorded by the Monkees, List of songs recorded by the Rolling Stones, List of songs recorded by the Who, List of songs recorded by the Wiggles, etc., etc., etc. --woodensuperman 09:24, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose, the present uppercased title reflects the name of the group at its main article, and change the other examples to uppercase which should also reflect the names of the group at their main articles. Thanks for pointing out the mistakes in the six other pages. Randy Kryn (talk) 09:50, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Hardly a mistake Randy, you need to read the MOS. You can't just wilfully deny it. --woodensuperman 09:53, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The guideline you point out refers to in-text mentions, the song-grouping article titles should directly reflect the name of the main articles of these bands. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:43, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Wrong! Article titles are in sentence case,

  MOS:THEBAND explains how the "the" in a band name is used mid-sentence. --woodensuperman 11:03, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply

• Support. The nominator's argument is correct – this article's title is in sentence case, and thus
  MOS:THEBAND applies to it. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 13:33, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply

• Support per
  MOS:THEBAND and nom (and Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/The Beatles and List of songs recorded by the Beatles). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:43, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply

• Support. This is a routine

• Changed to Support and snow close, with everyone going with the lowercasing then this must be an "I like it" bias on my part. Doesn't seem right to me that the band's real name cannot appear in the title of the page which focuses on that bands songs. Things either look right or they don't, so this seems a difference of opinion about how the guideline reads, and it should probably be made clearer that the title of the page is included in the prescribed lowercasing.
