Unfounded speculation re: "The Impossible Dream"[edit]
In the Production notes section, the item regarding the quotes from "The Impossible Dream" says:
Only Roberto catches on, a reference to Raúl Juliá's leading role (Don Quixote) in the Broadway version of Man of La Mancha.
At least two other characters, the Archbishop and Strausmann's thug assistant, show the same reaction Strausmann shows. Conjecturing a special connection to Julia's role in Man of La Mancha is unfounded. I am removing that sentence.--Jim10701 (talk) 17:33, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, is that over here we don't have Moon Over Parador (musical) (or whatever other work under this title might exist). In our case we have a single article, Moon Over Parador. I personally view it as a form of typo, something that Wikipedia used to avoid doing in articles. Another thing to mention, the above mentioned film is American. In America, all works are capitalized, which we must respect.--Filmomusico (talk) 23:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if Moon Over Miami and others are capitalized, there is probably a good reason for it, and MOS:CT doesn't dictate here as you see. So, if it is an article on American film, MOS:CT can make an exception, I guess. Look, all the above films that you mentioned are American, even disambiguation pages are listing it as American film, song, TV series, etc.--Filmomusico (talk) 01:15, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unless we have Wikipedia-wide consensus regarding all titles using "Over"/"over" and grammarian advice specifying its case-by-case use as a lowercase preposition or an uppercase adverb, whatever we ultimately decide in this particular RM will only represent WP:LOCALCONSENSUS. —Roman Spinner(talk • contribs)01:39, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is a constant balance -- what to do when formatting suggested by the MOS is inconsistent with the official name and the name commonly used in reliable sources. But as the MOS makes clear that ultimately what we should do is defer to usage in reliable sourcing -- ""an adherence to conventions widely used in the genre are critically important to credibility." If the reliable sources used throughout coverage of the genre use the "correct title," it clearly runs against our guidelines purposes to intentionally choose to use a different one.--Yaksar(let's chat)13:22, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per MOS:CT. Following our own Manual of Style is important because it ensures consistency within Wikipedia. And the Manual of Style clearly states that prepositions with four letters or fewer are not capitalized. (There is a potential exception mentioned regarding words that are frequently not a preposition, e.g. "Like" and "Past", but that exception does not apply to "over", which is mostly used as a preposition.)

I did a Google search for both variations. In Google search both Moon over Parador and Moon Over Parador come out 255,000 times, only with one second difference (previously the split was between 80 and 59 seconds).--Filmomusico (talk) 02:59, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
