Tom thumb (film)Tom Thumb (film) – Back to status quo. Every single guideline recommends that the original style and capitalisation is ignored, in favour of our house style. See MOS:CT, MOS:TM (the reference to thirtysomething is particularly relevant), MOS:CAPS, also WP:NCCAPS, WP:NCFILM. Rob Sinden (talk) 10:27, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Don't lie. It's not "Back to status quo" at all. From 24 November 2006‎ to September 2013‎ it was lower case: that's the status quo. Not every guide tells us to ignore capitalisation, which is why we have articles on iTunes, eBay, IMAX and a host of others that have non-standard capitalisation. WP:TM is a non-starter (it's not a tm, it’s a film title, just in case you hadn't noticed). - SchroCat (talk) 10:47, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Read WP:TM, it makes explicit provisions for eBay and iTunes. IMAX is an acronym and thus allowed under WP:CAPSACRS. --Rob Sinden (talk) 10:52, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) (again) I did. And if we have flexibility for some articles, then we can have it for more than just those two, without stretching the brain too much. There is no need for such a limited thinking pattern when it comes to matters like this. - SchroCat (talk) 10:54, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If we're just going to search for examples then the BFI seem happy with title case. That might be because it is their house style to use it. When it comes to composition titles and the like, it is our house style to use title case also, and this is what we follow. We do not take our capitalisation from the original marketing material or from the house styles of other publications. --Rob Sinden (talk) 16:44, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Are you going to bludgeon every post of mine? That would be rather hugely tedious. - SchroCat (talk) 16:46, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If that article is ever created, then we can rename this to Tom Thumb (1958 film). --Rob Sinden (talk) 13:49, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
