Talk:Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time v. Once upon a time
Isn't it obvious that the latter is the correct title for a DAB page? --Ludvikus (talk) 03:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

--- yes, yes it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.177.147.34 (talk) 11:32, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Nebraska Public Television series
There was another TV series called 'once upon a time', produced by Nebraska Public Television, that should be added.

Once Upon a Time → Once upon a time (disambiguation) – See old Talk page comments. Some entries are not exact matches, and the capitalization is contrary to MOS:CT (and the sourcing argument does not seem to apply, since this is a dab page rather than a topic article). Note, however, that there was a previous revert of the same move (10:51, 7 October 2009 (UTC) by JHunterJ), so this may not be entirely noncontroversial. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment would the current title point to once upon a time or stay pointed to the dab page? -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:04, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it should point to the dab page (justified by WP:DIFFCAPS). —BarrelProof (talk) 05:58, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - a baseline and a dab differing on caps like this is a bad idea In ictu oculi (talk) 06:45, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * "Once upon a time the Once Upon a Times were in a navigation page not so far away and lived as a large number of articles that all associated with the "stock phrase used to open the telling of a story in the English language". They all had identities that were chosen in association with the phrase and the wise editors of Wikipedia decided to place their navigation page in a special place that was specifically marked to say that it was there to help navigate the ambiguities. The friendly travellers of Wikipedia content were then better able to navigate the ambiguity.  In full knowledge of the beginning of the story, the travellers were then able to find respective realms of great interest, and they all lived happily ever after."  I think its a capital idea and:
 * Suggest Once Upon a Time (disambiguation) GregKaye 09:06, 29 March 2015 (UTC)


 * If the proposal is for Once Upon a Time to become a redirect to Once upon a time (disambiguation), then I oppose. Nearly all the entries are for titles with the precise capitalization. I would not oppose as strongly if the proposal were that Once upon a time is the primary topic for the capitalized version. older ≠ wiser 12:08, 29 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Almost all of the entries are capitalised.  This is a solution looking for a problem.  —  AjaxSmack   17:29, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Ajax Red Slash 04:35, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The sentence-cased title is unambiguous; naming the dab after the unambiguous variation is a bad idea. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:40, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per comments above. Uppercase makes more sense for this disambig page.  73.222.28.191 (talk) 00:10, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Strong Oppose, look at the entries on the disamb. page, "Upon" is uppercased - each and every one. Then maybe glance at the n-grams from 1894 onward. WP:COMMONNAME fits uppercasing of this one perfectly. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Strong Support, upon should be lowercase. 173.72.3.91 (talk) 23:32, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Randy Kryn. Disambiguation pages should follow the majority use case almost always, because they're representing what is actually on the page.  SnowFire (talk) 04:56, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
