Article has been kept. Joseph2302?--Launchballer 20:27, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Reviewer needed for this, now that it's been kept at AFD. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Going to approve pending an answer on the following query: my review of the sources seems to indicate that the common name for this artist is "goddard." as opposed to the currently used "Goddard.". I lean towards a page move to reflect this capitalization scheme. If Launchballer does not feel this is necessary, I'll defer to their judgement. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC) [Note: due to a request, I am not posting the generally required template to Launchballer's talk page. Please refrain for notifying them, as the u template is sufficient.]Reply
WP:NCLOWERCASEFIRST means that such a move would be impossible; changing the display name would be as simple as adding Template:Lowercase title to the page. However, usual practice is apparently to title articles in WP:SENTENCECASE, and to disregard capitalisation per User talk:Launchballer#Piri and Piri & Tommy stylisations - although I really, really don't like it, I think it's so hypocritical when we entertain just about every other stylisation going ("Beachin" instead of "Beaching", "Nice 2 Me" instead of "Nice To Me" - hell, even "OMG I Rly Like U" instead of "OMG I Really Like You").--Launchballer 20:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
QPQ done, survived AfD, reasonably sourced article, no image, expanded and nom'd appropriately. Hooks are good and sourced and my preference is ALT2 (what can I say? It's cute.). Launchballer, that's a maddening bug that I had either forgotten about or had not heard of; thanks for letting me know. I agree–it is a hypocritical arrangement. Glad to give you the tick! ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:54, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Reason (software) is pretty obviously notable, and I've just chucked a quick article together based on a previous revision. QPQ's done, could I add Reason to the nomination?
ALT4: ... that Goddard. learned Reason?--Launchballer 22:45, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I recommend only a minor change, Launchballer: "... that goddard. learned Reason?" I see it as something of a formatting joke. Otherwise, QPQ being done and me seeing no reason not to approve, I say good to go. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:50, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Full stop after name/"as half of which he released"

[edit]

Why is the article title "Goddard." when the name is given in the infobox without the full stop, and there is no mention in the article of the alias including a full stop? MartinPoulter (talk) 11:27, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

This is confusing; shouldn't it be "who released", meaning that it was the duo "Ag." who released the mentioned singles/EPs, not Andrew Goddard? If those were solo releases, then why is Ross Quinn even mentioned in the sentence? MartinPoulter (talk) 11:30, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've taken the liberty of merging your posts together. I reworded it to "who released", although I'm sure you could have done that yourself. I put this at "Goddard." as natural disambiguation as there was already an Andrew Goddard and "Goddard." is his stage name per (well, "goddard." really, but I said my piece on capitalisation earlier); I've added a brief mention on the article.--Launchballer 14:45, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Launchballer: Thanks for fixing these issues. I didn't fix them myself because I don't know anything about this topic and the existing text was ambiguous, as I explained above. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 13:29, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
