Talk:Sounds Like Teen Spirit

Move?

The result of the move request was: move. Although it would be nice to resolve this controversy at the MOS talk pages, there appears to be consensus to capitalize "Like" here because of how it's stylized in sources and to maintain consistency with Smells Like Teen Spirit. --  tariq abjotu  05:20, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Sounds like Teen Spirit → Sounds Like Teen Spirit –
 * (with Sounds like Teen Spirit as a redirect to Sounds Like Teen Spirit). Move according to spelling rules. Relisted. BDD (talk) 20:48, 8 August 2013 (UTC) – ὁ οἶστρος (talk) 18:51, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Can this usage of "like" be treated as a preposition and thus only getting a capital if it has 5 or more letters? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:19, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. We do not choose titles, we report titles, but for those who do, the actual rule is that all important words as well as the first and last are capitalized. The sources capitalize, so I recommend we do the same. Apteva (talk) 08:07, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The current rule is to use lower case for prepositions that are shorter than five letters. The word "Like" can be either a verb ("I don't like coffee") or a preposition ("This is like coffee"). This case falls under the second category, unless you use the unlikely interpretation that the title is about sounds which have an affinity to teen spirit. However, RMs involving the capitalization of "like" are by no means an uncontroversial matter and decisions have been made both ways IIRC. Indeed, the identical (and more high-profile) case Smells Like Teen Spirit is written with the "like" capitalized. Jafeluv (talk) 07:57, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support, but not for MOS reasons; the sources tend to capitalise "Like". bobrayner (talk) 19:08, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Policy discussion in progress
There is a policy discussion in progress at the Manual of Style which affects this page, suggesting that the capitalization of "like" should be removed. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — Llywelyn II   11:56, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
