Yook O'clockYook O'Clock – I started a discussion at the Guild of Copy Editors about this (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors#Correct capitalisation of title?), and consensus seems to be tending towards capitalising both the "O" and the "C" of "O'Clock". There does seem to be universal agreement that "O'clock" is not correct, however, despite the fact that the stylisation by the artist and his record company is "YOOK O'clock"... we wouldn't base the title of the article on any stylisation. The standard procedure on Wikipedia for titles of works appears to be to capitalise both the "O" and the "C" – The Five O'Clock Girl, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Eight O'Clock Walk, etc. and this should be followed here.

  • Support: Support, with "Yook O'Clock" (stylized as "YOOK O'clock") in lead sentence. We don't follow the stylization of sources, and there are a wealth of examples for O'Clock at Special:Search/intitle:o'clock. Please ensure that there are redirects at likely alternative capitalizations. – Reidgreg (talk) 14:33, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
