Talk:Boys Like You (Who Is Fancy song)

Song title
Shouldn't the page title be "Boys Like You" with a captial "L"? It is spelt that way officially. Toothswing (talk) 13:37, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Release date
Could somebody please change the release date and all elements that refer to the release date (e.g. chronology for the three artists) back to the correct date of worldwide release, which is November 23rd 2015? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PsychoBaritone (talk • contribs) 20:23, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

– Per 'Pageviews Analysis', it's the only page getting any traffic. At the very least the page needs to be moved to where "Like" is lowecase. Whitevenom187 (talk) 06:55, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Boys Like You (Who Is Fancy song) → Boys like You
 * Boys like You → Boys like You (disambiguation)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Nnadigoodluck  █ █ █ 14:52, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: Boys like You title's a dab page with significant content and so is ineligible to be a new title in a requested move unless it is also proposed to be renamed. This request has been altered to reflect that fact.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 14:48, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * With 3 articles and 11 songs needs a case that there is a long term primary and obscuring the article title benefits readers. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:52, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not willing to make that case, but "Like" does need to be lowercased in the title per WP:NC. So, Boys Like You (Who Is Fancy song) → Boys like You (Who Is Fancy song). Whitevenom187 (talk) 10:04, 18 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose move to Boys like You (not clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC), Support move to "Boys like You (Who Is Fancy song)" per MOS:TITLECAPS. D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 14:54, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep parenthetical disambiguation to avoid recentism. Nonetheless, leaving "Like" as-is would make itself look like a verb describing an action by the "Boys". The lyrics actually use "boys like you" like object-preposition-object instead of subject-verb-object, so lowercase "like". George Ho (talk) 01:58, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per readership usage, clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:53, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Support move to "Boys Like You" - but without the lowercase L. We don't do that anymore, see Girls Like You, Be Like That (Kane Brown, Swae Lee and Khalid song), etc.--NØ 16:13, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * We still do it; see MOS:TITLECAPS. -- JHunterJ (talk) 17:52, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No we don't, as evident by every "Like" entry at Category:2020 songs.--NØ 11:05, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, we do, as evident by the guidelines rather than WP:LOCALCONSENSUS. -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:36, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose  WP:OTHERSTUFF does not make leaving this as is the right thing to do. This song is the obvious ptopic per JHunterJ, and if other pages need to have "Like" lowercased per the guideline, then let's get busy, but let's not use them as sad examples of reasons to oppose this page move.

 * per BD2412 .  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 20:48, 9 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Support move to Boys like You (Who Is Fancy song) as per MOS:TITLECAPS. Hayman30 (talk) 09:00, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose any move. A longer term showing of primacy is needed to remove the disambiguator, and the verb/preposition issue is equally ambiguous irrespective of usage in the lyrics. People see the title before they see the lyrics. BD2412  T 18:17, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose removal of artist name among multiple song articles is no benefit to readers - just makes navigation more difficult. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:21, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * So it seems that ideas are all over the place. I personally Support per JHunterJ, but for the people opposing any move, do I understand correctly that you consider all article titles of songs including the word "like" as a preposition should have it capitalized despite MOS:TITLECAPS?
