It's on Again → It's On Again – I think the "On" word in the title is not a preposition, but rather, an adverb, which indicates continuation of a movement or an action. It's lyrics state, "I'll simply say it's on again / it's on again..." Chihciboy (talk) 11:27, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Per nom and it is written as "It's On Again" in all reliable sources. STATic message me! 01:25, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. It is an adverb as can be heard by the fact that the primary sentence stress is on the word on. — AjaxSmack 02:09, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support, per nomination. "On" is an adverb, relating the situation to the word "again". → Lil-℧niquԐ 1 - { Talk } - 11:31, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Not a preposition here (there's no "again" that this "it" sits "on"). "It's on My Head", preposition. "It's On!", not a preposition. "It's On Again", again not a preposition. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:02, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Not a preposition, but a description of state (same usage as "this machine is on", "this light is on", etc., from which sense the slang "it's on!" derives). — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 12:30, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha, about the slang, I didn't know that! Learn something new every day! Lazy Bastard Guy 00:06, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Actually an adjective rather than an adverb, but it still needs to be capped per MOS:CT. Can't be a preposition unless it has an object. Deor (talk) 12:49, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A good way to tell whether it should be capitalized is if the title states what "it" (whatever that may be) is on. If nothing is given then "on" is an adverb, not a preposition. Lazy Bastard Guy 00:06, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
