To Diko Sou Asteri → To diko sou asteri – Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:08, 19 February 2012 (UTC) I am not aware of general capitalization of the first letter of every word in greek titles. --Bensin (talk) 15:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Straight forward. Skinsmoke (talk) 21:23, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose On second thoughts, it isn't so straight forward. Surely we follow the same rules as if the title were in English. That would be like How Can I Be Sure or Summer in the City. Skinsmoke (talk) 21:29, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The capitalization rules are dependent on the language. I am not aware of any language that capitalize titles like in English, but I may be wrong. (Also, if you want to change your vote you can strike out the vote you changed ~~like this~~) --Bensin (talk) 01:31, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reply I am aware of the capitalisation rules in other languages, but this is the English language Wikipedia, and capitalisation should therefore follow the English Wikipedia style. Were we talking about the Greek language Wikipedia, the titling for songs in both English and Greek should follow the Greek Wikipedia style. Skinsmoke (talk) 04:13, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Any title in English should be capitalized after English rules regardless of what language version is hosting the article. The same goes for titles in Greek or any other language. It is the language of the title of the work, not the language of the wiki that determines the capitalization. --Bensin (talk) 15:53, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: page moved -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:43, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To Diko Sou Asteri → To diko sou asteri – Per discussion of general guideline here and per updated guideline here. --Bensin (talk) 15:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support but more per (a) common sense - very ugly to have European song titles doing like they are trying to be Done Like What We English Speakers Do. also per (b) Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs#Naming, not sure that the new Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters#Composition_titles is as easy to read. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:04, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support per guidance set out at WP:SONG and MOS:CAP. Wesley☀Mouse 00:40, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- On second thoughts, Oppose this is after all English wiki, and therefore polices about capitalized song naming per English wiki should remain. Wesley☀Mouse 00:43, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The applicable guideline Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters#Composition_titles says "non-English works follow the capitalization rules of the language of the title." (With the added caveat that I myself added that to the guideline after discussion) --Bensin (talk) 20:07, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
