Here's Your MuleHere's your mule – – per MOS:CAPS. Dicklyon (talk) 19:23, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps so, but then if we keep the caps we need to rewrite the lead to say "Here's Your Mule is a song..." – Dicklyon (talk) 16:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: moved; the catchphrase doesn't need to be capitalized. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 18:14, 1 February 2012 (UTC)Reply


Here's Your MuleHere's your mule – I looked at how to implement the idea from the first RM about making the article about the song, but I couldn't see a way to do that. There are various songs going along with the various phrases mentioned in the lead, and the article is more about the phrase and its origin and influence than about one or more songs in particular. Since that's where we are, I don't see how we can justify keeping it capitalized. Hopefully we'll get more comments this time, or avoid the oppostion.

That would only make sense to me if the subject of the article actually was one of those songs. As long as the subject is the phrase (and the songs are mentioned merely as a use of that phrase), it's misleading to readers to title the article with caps.--Kotniski (talk) 23:01, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
The songs are hardly "merely" mentioned; they are covered in detail and even have infoboxes. The article is about both -- and based purely on percentage of verbiage, it's predominantly about the songs. Powers T 02:58, 24 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
