LANco → Lanco (band) – LANco is an improper way of stylization to me, when "LAN" is for "Lancaster", so I feel that it would be better as "Lanco". JE98 (talk) 15:57, 15 September 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. —usernamekiran(talk) 13:45, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support per Rolling Stone article In ictu oculi (talk) 16:46, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose for now - the name of the band appears to have been stylized as LANco initially - [1][2] (therefore it is wrong to say that it is an improper stylization), however now LANco, LANCO and Lanco are used in various articles and websites - [3][4][5][6]. I'd say wait and see which one becomes the dominant one first before changing. Hzh (talk) 14:46, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- Support per nom's rationale. The caps are pure style, inconsistent with the interpretation, which is for Lancaster & Co, not an acronym. Since Lanco is among the styles is use, as Hzh shows, we might as well use it, per MOS:TM. Dicklyon (talk) 00:00, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

LANCO (band) → LANCO – Per the precedent of SHeDAISY, k.d. lang, CCH Pounder, JCPenney, and other articles, non-standard case may be used if there is overwhelming majority to do so. Reputable sources such as AllMusic, People, and Billboard render the name in all-caps, and I found few to no sources referring to the band as just "Lanco".
Of the inbound links, page hits, and non-wikipedia search results, there is almost no traffic for LANCO regarding its use in reference to a defunct airline. By comparison, the band's article has a much larger inbound link and view count.
In short, it seems as if anyone looking for LANCO in all-caps is without question looking for a currently active band, not a short lived defunct airline. And the all-caps spelling seems to be overwhelmingly preferred. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:22, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Move to Lanco (band) per MOS:CAPS. The title is not an acronym so it is not necessary to move it to a title it is stylized as. See Finneas, who is also stylized in caps. There is WP:NOPRIMARYTOPIC based on page views. Theparties (talk) 06:02, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Weak move to Lanco (band) per comments above and sources identified in the previous RM. — BarrelProof (talk) 20:07, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Move back to Lanco (band) – The May 2023 move to all-caps (undiscussed) was contrary to the consensus at the 2017 RM discussion. Dicklyon (talk) 22:41, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

- @Tony1: Why? — BarrelProof (talk) 06:41, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Consistent with WP's approach to such all-caps names; easier to read. All-caps shouts. Tony (talk) 08:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
