Talk:Michael Busbee

This whole "going by the last name without capitilization" thing seems incorrect and inaproppriate for an encyclopedia. His first name and correct caps should be used, whether or not he likes going by this odd presentation of his name. As an example, RnB artist JoJo performs under that name, but her songwriting credits are to her original un-altered name of Joanna Levesque. CloversMallRat (talk) 03:14, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

possibly but there are also many writers who go by the name the are professionally known as. Should that not be the choice of the writer? To my knowledge, unlike JoJo", "busbee" is actually credited on records as "busbee." so, the "busbee" wikipedia page should reflect that. It is not our place as the encyclopedia community to attempt to rewrite credits, correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.137.137.208 (talk) 01:49, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They can go by whatever name they want, but this here is an encyclopedia and here he will be 'Michael Busbee' mostly in terms of page title. If he really goes by that variation, it can be mentioned within the article. But under no circumstance is 'busbee, the American Songwriter/Record Producer' an appropriate form of page title here.

I agree...the page title should just be "busbee" but because of the fact that wikipedia has several busbee's the "busbee" page title directs one to a page with a list of busbee's. One of which should be "busbee, the Ameican Songwriter." that is how he is professionally known. Most people don't even know his first name. So, why are you insisting it be listed in as his page title. Dr. Luke's page title is "Dr. Luke" not "Lukasz Gottwald", his real name. Madonna's is "Madonna (Entertainer)" not "Madonna Louise Ciccone." Sting's is "Sting (Musician)" not "Gordon Sumner." etc, etc, etc. Although i am not saying what you are saying is illogical...it is very inconsistent with the rest of wikipedia. again, please revert busbee's page title to "busbee, American Songwriter / Record Producer." thank you kindly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4trak (talk • contribs) 07:38, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The main difference with them is that none of them go by improper variations. Madonna is not madonna, and Sting is not sting. A name should be properly capitilized in an encyclopedia. Stylistic things like this should just be mentioned within the lead, but not be used as the primary form, such as the article for: Ke$ha, who is titled Kesha, without the dollar sign. She likes to put a dollar sign in her name, but it is left out here. CloversMallRat (talk) 23:54, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What you are saying has nothing to do with making the listing under "Michael Busbee." Please stop changing it. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.190.113 (talk) 21:53, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page has been redirected to "busbee, American Songwriter" because "busbee" is only on wikipedia because of his professional, that of a songwriter/producer. In his field, his is simply known as "busbee" not "Michael Busbee." So to have him listed under "Michael Busbee" is pointless. There are a lot of similar examples...Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Kesha, etc. Thank you for your help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4trak (talk • contribs) 22:15, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
