I suggest that this image is removed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bigbanggoestofrance.jpg. It's really ugly, and the text on top of it does not help very much. Mikapell 00:13, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Moved. Consensus in this discussion was to move (i.e. remove spacing). CamelCase not implemented as discussed below, keep disambiguation as similar to spaced version and unspaced version redirects to main subject. Rambo's Revenge (talk)  11:29, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Big Bang (Norwegian band) → Bigbang (Norwegian band) — While many versions exist, the most common is BigBang, which is the one found in norwegian paper dictionaries, however simply Bigbang will suffice as a non-complicated article header, with the current Big Bang being the least used name.

 * Support. Probably best to let this one run its course, as band names tend to lead to all sorts of discussion, but it seems to me to be just tidying up after successfully concluded discussions on other similar band names. Bigbang is preferred to BigBang IMO unless a strong case can be made that the camelcase version is dominant in English usage. Andrewa (talk) 14:20, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes I too think that's fine for the namespace, although heavy sources support its use in the article. M URGH   talk  16:58, 11 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Support, but wouldn't simply "Bigbang" suffice (looking at Big Bang (disambiguation), there don't seem to be any other uses for that word)?--Kotniski (talk) 13:20, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Requested move 16 February 2023

 * The following is a closed discussion of a 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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: Withdrawn. It was pointed out that the usage is not as consistent in sources as it appeared from what was said in the opening paragraph of the article. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:22, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Bigbang (Norwegian band) → BigBang (Norwegian band) – According to the opening paragraph of the article (which cites eight sources for the statement), the name of this band is usually styled as "BigBang". That is the same name styling we now use for the name of another band,. If the name of this band is usually styled that way in sources, and if we use that styling for the other band on Wikipedia, then we should style this one the same way to be consistent. CapitalizedWords / Pascal case is a relatively common styling for the names of entities. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. 2pou (talk) 21:36, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose: it usually styled "BigBang" in sources?  No evidence either way has been presented. However, their own website, Spotify page, YouTube video releases, etc., consistently use "Bigbang" from what I'm seeing .  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:14, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It wasn't exactly "no evidence" – I said there were eight sources cited in the corresponding sentence in the article's opening paragraph to support the proposal. The website of the record label (http://www.petroleumrecords.no/) shows all-caps, so no help there, but it links to a Facebook page for the band. The Facebook page uses BigBang. I just checked the eight sources that were cited to support the statement in the opening paragraph. One of them actually (at least currently) uses Bigbang and two are dead links. The other five use BigBang as described. The band's own website (https://bigbang.no/) doesn't seem to have the band's name in text anwhere except in the footer, which says "© 2023 BigBang Nettsted av User Centrix Ltd.". The cover art of the one album shown on the band's website uses Bigbang. The cover art shown on Spotify seems pretty mixed between BIGBANG and Bigbang, along with one bigbang. Spotify and YouTube are not independent sources –  they just publish what they are given by the the band itself or the music label, so I don't think they should count for much. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:21, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Per MOS:CAPS, WP:NCCAPS, WP does not add a capital letter except where sources do so consistently, and sources (even the band and its label themselves) are not consistent about it in this case. So, this also triggers MOS:TM: we do not immitate stylization that appears in various forms of marketing; we only do something unusual stylistically (like camelcase) if it strongly dominates in RS coverage of the subject.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  00:17, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
