Per Wikipedia's style guide concerning non-capitalised trademarks, I've changed the style convention of this article to normal English capitalisation. Please see Adidas for a comparable article (and about a company far more notable than Lowercase people records). Joshua (talk) 23:54, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Please keep this article. TWLOHA is a great organization, and I've spoken to the founder face-to-face only a few months ago. They are an amazing group of people with an excellent cause.

Notability isn't a problem, they are notable, they just have not been around long enough for much new information to be added. Renee, the young woman who the organization was started for, has successfully been treated for cocaine addictions and depression. Her life has taken a 180 turn because of this group, and if that isn't notable, I don't know what is.

Please do not delete this article. Any further questions can be directed to this page or straight to my talk page. I'll do the best I can to defend this organization. Streetsabre 05:40, 9 April 2007 (UTC)"[reply]

I support To Write Love on Her Arms and I support lowercase people as well. This is the reason that Streetsabre used to protect the To Write Love on Her Arms article here on Wikipedia. Streetsabre's article is the reason that I created the lowercase people article in the first place. I signed up for Wikipedia initially intending to just contribute to already existing articles but I found the TWLOHA's article about to be deleted soon after joining so I contributed as much as I could to save it. A day later, the notability problem was fixed!

Lowercase people is another great organization just like To Write Love on Her Arms. Although I haven't spoken to the founder(s) face to face (Switchfoot or Jon Foreman), they are notable:

"Switchfoot has been actively involved in a number of humanitarian causes, including DATA, the ONE Campaign, the Keep A Breast Foundation, Invisible Children and To Write Love On Her Arms.[1] In addition to supporting those causes Switchfoot has fronted the Switchfoot Bro-Am Surf Contest and the an online magazine known as lowercase people.

The Annual Switchfoot Bro-Am Surf Contest is a benefit contest and concert run by the band to raise money for Care House and Casa de Amparo, organizations serving homeless kids the band's hometown of San Diego.[2] Also before recording Nothing Is Sound the band made a trip to several South African villages, which inspired the album's song "The Shadow Proves the Sunshine". Seeing things like an orphanage filled with infants who all lost their parents to AIDS, palling around with orphans in the streets, and getting involved with a children's choir called "Kuyasa Kids" moved them to start an ambitious organization called lowercase people. The organization publishes a quarterly online magazine for music, arts and social justice. They have also produced a CD by the Kuyasa Kids[1] so that the kids can be empowered by making money for their communities.[3]"

This information being taken straight from the Switchfoot article here on Wikipedia. Both mentioning the two non-profit organizations that are working hard. If To Write Love on Her Arms' article can exist, so can lowercase people's. As I mentioned in the article, Chad Butler once said:

"We are humanity: beautiful and broken. We want to collide. We're curious. We're thinking out loud. We are the lowercase people. Join us as we dream."[4]

Please do not destroy this article... Join us as we dream...
