We are Sudamerican Rockers → We are sudamerican rockers – Spanish titles are not usually capitalized except the first letter. See the Spanish version of the article (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_are_sudamerican_rockers). Dentren | ^Talk 17:24, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ Neutral. Most English sources use normal capitalization for this subject. Each language has its own capitalization rules. Were we to use a Spanish title, we might use "Somos rockeros sudamericanos", if that is what most English sources used, or "Somos Rockeros Sudamericanos" if that is what most used, even though it would look wrong to anyone who spoke Spanish.

Strongly Support - see lyrics. For all the reasons Apteva has just opposed by. Were we to use a Spanish title, we might use "Somos rockeros sudamericanos," yes, but this song/title really is Spanish, it isn't just a Chilean release of an English song, it really is Spanish and the mangled Spanglish is part of the point. As the title stands it is misleading, it looks like an English song title with a word of Spanglish, but in fact the song is the other way round.

- I was looking at [1] and [2] and [3] ("Yo juraba que lo que traté de hacer en We are Sudamerican Rockers en 1988 y luego en Corazones Rojos era rap. Soy fan de esa bella música desde los primeros discos de Run DMC y en realidad el versificar sobre tambores es uno de los placeres mas grandes en la tierra", confesó el ex Prisioneros.) Now I speak no Spanish but those look like capital letters to me... Apteva (talk) 23:30, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Allmusic is not authoritative, what seems to authoritative to me is the actual Spanish spelling. The title is misspelled (sudamerican) on porpouse and due to its context it has to considered a Spanish language mockery of Enbglish. Thw whole topic seems confusing: We are Sudamerican rockers is reported by Chilean music website musica popular (an local equivalent to Allmusic). But a look a backside of Grande Éxitos list the song as We are south american rockers. I think this last version is the best one as it is the same as used in their disc.

Support as the lowercase appears to be the appropraite casing use, as per the nom, the ENWP page uses the lowercase form. Tiggerjay (talk) 00:37, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, difficult. I mean, it's true that the song is Spanish, but the song title is actually in English, so I'd probably stick with the English caps. The Evil IP address (talk) 17:14, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
