bell hooks
Her pen name is stylized in all lower case. Should we not list it that way here as well? PhillyHarold (talk) 22:25, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reference. It says typically, and I believe this qualifies as an exception. If not, should it be changed in her bio article as well? Thanks. PhillyHarold (talk) 18:03, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I suppose you could say that as a pen name, not her real given name, it's an exception. TomCat4680 (talk) 00:55, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Splitting this article
This article is currently 475,371+ bytes and is the 6th largest on the wiki, which is way too long. I suggest a split of this article. I suggest that we do a classic split in half: 2021 deaths in the United States, January–June, with 232,322 bytes, and 2021 deaths in the United States, July–December, with 240,374 bytes, so almost a perfect split in half. The same was also done with the 2019 deaths in the United States article. Blubabluba9990 (talk) (contribs) 13:41, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. PhillyHarold (talk) 14:29, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the more appropriate title would be January–June 2021 deaths in the United States unless there is some other precedent. Otherwise, 2021 deaths in the United States (January–June) Onetwothreeip (talk) 22:11, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I also agree. zsteve21 (talk) 21:42, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I do agree, however I chose those titles in order to remain consistent with 2019 deaths in the United States, January–June and 2019 deaths in the United States, July–December. Those would have to be renamed as well in order to maintain consistency. Blubabluba9990 (talk) (contribs) 01:19, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It seems as though there is consensus to split this article into January–June and July–December. We will have to name the new pages to be consistent with the 2019 ones, as I said above. Blubabluba9990 (talk) (contribs) 19:36, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * If that is the precedent then I have no problem with the split articles being named that way. If there is no objection, we can change the titles of the 2019 articles. Onetwothreeip (talk) 01:28, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
