Requested move 30 May 2022
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Contesting. This should also be capitalised per English Wikipedia conventions, which is all caps unless it's a short preposition etc. —

Well either way, sources commonly render it all capitalised, there is no reason to deviate. And we are the English Wikipedia not the German, so we don't have to honour German naming rules for proper names. —

I've just looked at a pile of similar articles, and we do seem to be respecting the German capitalisation for most of these articles. I agree with
Rmhermen and
Amakuru that this is the English Wikipedia and that some of the sources show it all capitalised, but that's definitely not all the sources, and I do feel that
FMSky may indeed have a point. And I feel uneasy about rejecting this proposal outright. Shall we do an RM about it?

Comment. As a German, my opinion: The album's title can be interpreted in two ways. Liebe macht Monster as "Loves makes Monsters" as well as "Liebe Macht Monster" (Love, Power, Monsters). So because of that, this could be the intention why "Macht" is in Caps. It's deliberate to let the listener decide. — Preceding

but then there would have to be commas... imo the lowercase "macht" is the "standard" interpretation and should probaby be the article's name. the way it currently is, its just grammatically incorrect --
