• 2 Alivë → 2 Alive
• Up 2 Më → Up 2 Me
• Lyfë → Lyfe (EP)
• Monëy So Big → Money So Big
• Flawlëss → Flawless (Yeat song)
• Out thë Way → Out the Way
• AftërLyfe → Afterlyfe

– Yeat has a personal characteristic stylisation of putting umlauts over the "e"s in his titles, but they don't mean anything and the titles aren't pronounced differently, just like Mötley Crüe. I'm posting this move request of all his stylised titles to seek the community's opinion on if we should follow the logic of WP:TMRULES here. I'm sure plenty of sources do replicate the stylised "ë"s in his titles (I haven't really checked) but we generally disregard and de-stylise titles of works. Ss112 10:01, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

• Support: I notice that the cited HotNewHipHop, HipHopDX, Complex and Billboard sources don't use the umlaut for "2 Alive". Since the sources are mixed, we should drop the decorative umlauts. Funny, there seems to have never been a formal RM discussion of the article titles for Mötley Crüe and Motörhead. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:14, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose Lyfë and Flawlëss should include the umlaut per WP:SMALLDETAILS, as it serves as disambiguation. The policy in itself lists a perfect example with The Wörld Is Yours and The World Is Yours. Oppose the rest per WP:CONSISTENT. Regardless of my vote, I have added the recently created Aftërlyfe in the discussion as it is also concerned. Célestin Denis (talk) 16:40, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
• Support These are for stylization purposes, meaning they should probably be posted on Wikipedia articles with a note in the article, not in its name. ColorTheoryRGB CMYK 17:59, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
