Title of Page

Should the title not just be "So Much (For) Stardust, given its a double entendre? 2600:1700:9730:4BC0:7CD6:AA87:6459:5549 (talk) 03:18, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

You are right, and I have reverted the page move. If the double entendre were merely denoted through an all-caps part of a title, I would fully agree it's a stylisation, but I don't believe a parenthesised part of a title is a stylisation. With this logic, songs that have a parenthesised part at the beginning (e.g. "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care") or end (e.g. "Do You Know (What It Takes)") are also "stylisations". Having the page at So Much for Stardust forces one meaning when I think it's pretty clear it's intended to be read both as a "hopeful"(?) or "doubtful" statement, "So Much Stardust", and "So Much for Stardust", hence why the one portion is parenthesised.

Agreed. I'm usually against editors excessive denotations of stylizations, but this is one of those times where it's important to retain because it alters the meaning. Sergecross73 msg me 14:42, 23 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hold Me Like a Grudge was not a single. It should be removed from the singles list. Robertbullin (talk) 13:11, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Not done Rolling Stone appears to call it a single, at least. If there's a counterpoint, it'd be best to hold further discussion until there is a consensus on it. Sergecross73 msg me 13:26, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
