• Oppose, look at this n-gram, which covers all of these. Look at the page sources and External links. Uppercase is the obvious choice here, nothing broken and the present titles are in unison with the sources and n-gram evidence. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:59, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Oppose, "Than" is uppercase nearly everywhere I have looked, including Gabriel's own website.[1] Dobbyelf62 (talk) 14:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. Those involved with one of these three works have chosen to capitalise all three words. It may be suggested to redirect proposed targets to the page names where they are currently located. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

• Support – We already have most "More than This" titles at the case styling recommended by our MOS, but these 3 are outliers and should be brought in line. Dicklyon (talk) 16:34, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
• Support. Wikipedia style guide trumps individual stylisations: that's what a style guide is for. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:36, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

• ...yet exceptions such as this, when all of the sources and External links uppercase, are what WP:IAR is for (IAR is a policy, not a guideline or an essay or a mystic do-not-use rarity). Randy Kryn (talk) 11:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

• Support per MOS:CT. Darkday (talk) 10:31, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
