Just like Fire WouldJust Like Fire Would – Standard capitalisation; move over redirect. Colonies Chris (talk) 16:38, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • That doesn't appear to be in line with MOS:TITLECAPS. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 03:51, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Quoting from that MOS link:

    Potential exceptions: 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".

    (emphasis added). That's clearly the case here - it's difficult to find any examples at all that lower-case the 'Like'. Colonies Chris (talk) 08:45, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The article Just like Fire "like" is lowecase. Depending on whether this article is move, that page may be effected. Many of the refs at Just like Fire have "Like" capitalized, so it also may fall under the exception above. OkayKenji (talk page) 05:38, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've just checked a selection of the English-language sources for that article - not one of them uses the lowercase 'like'. So yes, it would be appropriate to rename that article too. Colonies Chris (talk) 08:49, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
