All I Need is Love → All I Need Is Love – Note the capital 'I' in "Is". This is the capitalisation used on the inside front cover of the 1988 (first) edition. When I requested this renaming as an uncontroversial move, somebody pointed out that this is not how the book is catalogued at WorldCat. However, the book itself is a primary source, and so takes precedence over any error in WorldCat. (I would have renamed the article myself, but it is blocked by the existence of a #REDIRECT.)

• Comment: I asked that this request be refiled because I didn't think it was uncontroversial, and because librarians disagreed (Worldcat). My guess was that WP:MOS was the right authority to determine title capitalization rather than the book itself. Now I managed to find what I guess is the right passage in MOS: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Composition titles. Per this rule, it seems that 'Is' should be capitalized after all: "all forms of the verb to be" are to be capitalized in book or film titles. In my opinion our own Manual of Style should take precedence over Worldcat's capitalization as well as the book itself. If I were formally voting I would support this move. Since I've expressed an opinion I won't take any action to close this request. EdJohnston (talk) 20:47, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

• At WorldCat the book is actually capitalised "All I need is love", which is different from even the current title. This is unsurprising as librarians remove capitals from all but the first word of a book's title (except for any bare 'I's). That is to say, what WorldCat did was never relevant. I agree that Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Composition titles takes precedence over even the primary source. This all means that the renaming can go ahead but, as it has been proposed here, we might as well wait for seven days. HairyWombat 21:48, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

• Support per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Composition titles. Someone should probably add that to WP:CAPS, which is where one would generally assume to find such information. Jenks24 (talk) 07:13, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
• Support as above. Deor (talk) 12:09, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
