The result of the move request was: No consensus (non-admin closure) -- Yashovardhan (talk) 14:16, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
List of songs recorded by The Rolling Stones → List of songs recorded by the Rolling Stones – Per Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/The Beatles, which reached consensus to use "the Beatles" in the middle of sentences. List of awards and nominations received by the Beatles is not at List of awards and nominations received by The Beatles. I fail to see why the Rolling Stones, another music group, should be treated any differently. feminist 10:04, 23 April 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

- Oppose - The cited decision was on a specific issue and it had an unconvincing level of discussion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_mediation/The_Beatles/Archive_3], so I think it should not be used as a credible argument to make changes to large numbers of other articles. "Lower case argument wins hands down - although I don't really feel too strongly either way, personally" typifies the level of many opinions expressed for lowercase in the RfM. The closer appears to have ignored the weight of an argument and gone for raw numbers as the decider. I also note that some supporters for lowercase also qualified their support as being just for that specific issue, that the issue did not apply to other bands, for example one comment stated "There are bands where the 'the' is an integral part of their name (The Who, The Doors, The The) and I would support the capitalization".
