Talk:Lyme and cybelle

Orthography / Title?

edit

The Warren Zevon article contains the unattributed statement that the proper name of this duo was:

" ... lyme & cybelle (in a '60s-ish affectation, the band name eschewed capitalization)."

If this is correct, then this article should be retitled into lower case.

The proper capitalization is mentioned in this article, and I guess that it might be possible to rename it. However, I do not know if this violates the Wikipedia policies on article naming, since I hear that those guidelines are more important than how the original creators spelled something. On the Warren Zevon Wiki article for lyme & cybelle the article's title is more correct to Santangelo and Zevon's wishes, only showing lyme as capitalized in the page top. However, as a Wikia wiki it doesn't need to follow Wikipedia policy. Comrade Graham (talk) 21:33, 26 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Need to change name of article to "lyme & cybelle"

edit

This act's name is usually presented with and "&" rather than "and" between "lyme" and "cybelle." Their name appeared this way (and in lower case lettering) on the labels of their singles, so we can retain the lower case. allMususic ahs them with and "&." So, we need to fix what is in the middle of their name (for the article title). I can move it accordingly to reflect their correct namesake. Garagepunk66 (talk) 22:38, 16 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

== The aforementioned unattributed quote that says they eschewed capitalization is a) unsourced (and gone), and b) does not prove that the lower-case was inherently a part of their name, as some album artwork writes words in all upper-case and/or all lower-case. Unless there's some proof of intent, I think it should change to Lyme & Cybelle. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 05:32, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
