Capitalization

It seems that the draft for the correct capitalization, Draft:Lil Tay has been indefinitely set to requiring administrator privileges to create. Due to the recent news, should this be lifted to allow for this page to be moved to its correct capitalization? Is this page allowed to be created at all, or is it considered a bypass of the administrator lock? Hopefully an administrator can look into this ASAP and see what can be done from here.

It seems early to be jumping to the conclusion that she is dead, agreed

The author of the Time magazine article headlines that her family announces her death, but has no more evidence than a post on her account, which combined with multiple reports of her father denying any knowledge of this - rather more specific than "her family", - is consistent with the hypothesis, for example, that her ig account could have been hacked, say. Certainly at least there's no strong evidence that she's dead and strong evidence that she may not be... ELSchissel (talk) 00:47, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
