Machine-Gun Kelly (film) → Machine Gun Kelly (film) – The film poster and most of the cited sources do not include a hyphen. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:50, 27 September 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:02, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support — I have looked at the source in the intro.[1] You're right so I support this. Futebul (talk) 17:09, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The current title is also inconsistent with MOS:HYPHEN and MOS:TITLECAPS, which discourage having a capital letter after a hyphen in this manner. —BarrelProof (talk) 21:10, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. As a firm believer that a film's on-screen credits constitute the ultimate determinant of its Wikipedia main title header, I must oppose this nomination. All-caps, all-lowercase, cursive script or other peculiarities need not be followed, but hyphens, question marks, exclamation points, ellipses or other on-screen indicator marks should be. Here is a link to the film which confirms that the opening credits do contain a hyphen. Film guides also use the hyphen, including Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, IMDb, TCMDb and the authoritative American Film Institute Catalog. As for the comment, although the on-screen credits show the name "machine-gun" in all-lowercase, no guidebook uses the form Machine-gun Kelly (film), thus apparently treating "-Gun" as part of a proper name. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:55, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Roman Spinner. And I think a lower case "gun" would just look weird in this instance. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:54, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- No one has suggested using lowercase for "gun". —BarrelProof (talk) 21:28, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I know. But you did say it would be inconsistent with MOS:HYPHEN and MOS:TITLECAPS to retain the current title. I disagree that this applies here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:02, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
