K?DK?d – Why is this article's title capitalised? There is no reason for this, and I cannot find an example of this instance in MOS:TITLECAPS. Lazz_R 22:43, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because no one bothered to add a {{lowercase title}} template. Feel free to add one. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 03:10, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Pppery: Cool. I added the tag, but because the title is in all caps at the present moment, the D remains capitalised. The page title will be all lowercase if the page is moved. Lazz_R 09:00, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@In ictu oculi: Hello, It is pronounced /kɪd/ "kid" (See description). It is already in the lead. Lazz_R 10:30, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Soundcloud plays in Career section

[edit]

Hello. I've noticed that in the career section of the page, the text which follows the release of this artist's tracks always contains Soundcloud play numbers. This prompts WP:PROMO guidelines, and sounds like a advertisement about how successful this artist is on the platform.

The references attached also seem to be self published on Soundcloud, which is also an unreliable primary source.

Thus I requesting that the number of track plays in the whole section should be removed, as the track release details written there are already enough. aNode (discuss) 08:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agreed. Removing them now Lazz_R 10:08, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the career section, I can't help but feel that the "reviews" from news articles are pushing the boundaries of WP:PROMO too... Lazz_R 10:25, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Now that I'm looking at it, those 'reviews' are literally sugar-coating all of the tracks with compliments, I don't see any criticism on them. Although they come from reliable sources, I think we better rewrite some of those review summaries, to make it more neutral.aNode (discuss) 13:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, absolutely. If not, it'd be best to remove the majority of them entirely (but keep the sources as they are reliable evidence for the tracks) Lazz_R 17:46, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Name stylisation

[edit]

Suggestion to overturn the lowercase title for the article name, based on the recent Deadmau5 discussion. The lowercase is purely stylisation, and we ought to follow MOS:SMALLCAPS and MOS:TITLECAPS. aNode (discuss) 10:47, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ANode The lowercase title can be sorted by regular editing, there's no need to move anything as the Wiki software doesn't distinguish if the first letter is capitalized or not. Flooded with them hundreds 10:16, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh, right right. Would an RFC be better in this case? aNode (discuss) 10:20, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but since no one is disputing, you could just make the change I guess. Flooded with them hundreds 10:28, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am in full agreement with your points, if it were me now I would not have requested the move above. If my consent is needed, then by all means remove the lowercase stylisation per the guidelines you cited. Lazz_R 18:19, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Will do! I'll give this section a few days to see if any new points pop up, then I'll remove the lowercase title template. aNode (discuss) 06:15, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@ANode: This is the {{lowercase title}} template, which alters "K?d" to "k?d". It was added by Lazz R (talk · contribs) in this edit, see #Requested move 26 March 2018 above. I really do not think that this is a RfC matter; see WP:RFCBEFORE - just discuss in the normal manner. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:46, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
