This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 01:14, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Both of the above fall under the following exception, since the sources in the articles capitalize the work "Like": Apply our five-letter rule (above) for prepositions except when a significant majority of current, reliable sources that are independent of the subject consistently capitalize, in the title of a specific work, a word that is frequently not a preposition, as in "Like" and "Past".
  • That is a "potential exception", and does not apply to many high profile articles such as Loser like Me (song), She's like a Star and Someone like You (Adele song), despite the media coverage of each of these examples often capitalizing the "like". We don't capitalize definite articles and other prepositions just because other websites do or because the artist does. --Whitevenom187 (talk) 22:27, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per GeoffreyT2000. WP:COMMONNAME seems clear and we should go with the exception mentioned.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:16, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Prepositions aren't mentioned in WP:COMMONNAME. However, the common name for the song is in all lowercase, which includes the "like". -Whitevenom187 (talk) 14:35, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Note: Whitevenom187 has been indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet of community banned user Calhounmuse.

Given that no one has supported, this should probably be closed in accordance with WP:DENY.--NØ 09:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose and change the stupid MOS to reflect actual English usage. "Like" should always be capitalized in titles. Red Slash 14:52, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
