Changing title from "Pup" to "PUP"[edit]

I'm about to boldly change the title of the band from "Pup" to "PUP", and I didn't have enough room to justify my changes in the edit summary, so I'm doing it here. Per MOS:TMRULES and MOS:ACRO, all-caps titles should remain in all-caps if they are initialisms or acronyms. According to this source, PUP stands for "Pathetic Use of Potential", and is thus an acronym. This is further backed up by the fact that most or virtually all reliable sources refer to the band as "PUP" and not "Pup". This is usually not the case for stylized names; for example, the band Kiss is stylized as "KISS", but a quick lookaround on Google shows that there are many reliable sources that use "Kiss" instead. PUP's name is much more similar to, say, AFI, whose name is always capitalized even though the meaning of the acronym is fairly obscure and not commonly known. For these reasons, I'll momentarily be changing all instances of "Pup" to "PUP" and moving the page from Pup (band) to PUP (band). -IagoQnsi (talk) 19:55, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
