Hurts like Heaven – Per
WP:COMMONNAMES, inaccurate titling or capitalizing should be avoided, even when commonly used. Many sources uppercase like as if... it's not a preposition or any other preposition (but an exceptional preposition). I was able to find news articles lowercasing like:
Gigwise,
RadioTimes,
The Northern Echo, and
GMA Network. However, these are all I can provide; as said, many sources uppercase like. We can't argue over a mere capitalization; in fact, like
Talk:Smells Like Teen Spirit and
Talk:Do It like a Dude (specific) and archived discussions at
WT:MOSCL (general), such a discussion would lead to nowhere and typically no consensus, especially when
WP:NCCAPS normally encourages lowercasing short prepositional words with no more than four letters. This leads to one question: shall we treat "hurts like" like either a
verb +
preposition or a
phrasal verb (exempli gratia
Count On Me and
Come On Over)? If the former, then WP:NCCAPS should be enforced, even if it appears bureaucratic, which Wikipedia is not. But Wikipedia is not democracy either. If the latter, then... I can't put my words into it. Of course, the whole message would be ignored, and then capitalization on a preposition like like would be the only main thing in someone's minds, thus leading this discussion to nowhere, like it always has been...
