Title: Spaces or Not?

edit

User Popcornfud seemed to be unsure of whether this article ought to have spaces in the title or not. I've done some digging and found that Radiohead's website listed the title for the 12" single of these songs as "FeelingPulledApartByHorses/ TheHollowEarth" [1], thought curiously Yorke lists the second song title as containing spaces in the text below, while he does not do the same for the first song. I would personally chalk this up to a typo or Yorke's affinity for adding spaces in words where they don't belong. Music publication Spin lists the song titles without spaces in this [2] article from 2017. The world-famous record store Amoeba Records also has this 12" single listed on their site as containing no spaces [3]. Hostagecat (talk) 10:29, 27 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'm still on the fence here. Consequence of Sound, Pitchfork, Music Radar, the NME and Rolling Stone don't include spaces. I think there is a good argument that excluding spaces is the WP:COMMONNAME. There are many situations where I think reflecting stylisation in Wikipedia articles is a bad move, even if that's the "official" title, because it disrupts prose. For example, I support writing Anima, not ANIMA, as block caps just looks distracting in prose. Popcornfud (talk) 13:10, 27 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
