Billy the Kid Versus Dracula → Billy the Kid versus Dracula – per MOS:TITLECASE, which is our house style, our titles should be in sentence case as they would appear in running text. {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk}

- This is a contested technical request (permalink). -- AlexTW 09:03, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose: This is the title of a film, we should follow those guidelines at WP:NCCAPS. BOVINEBOY2008 14:05, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose. "Use sentence case" only applies to things which are not proper names; this is a proper name. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) applies, and versus doesn't fall into the same group as "a", "an", "the", "on", "from", "and", and "with"; "vs." might be valid, but note this:
- 17:08, 5 January 2014 Roman Spinner moved page Billy the Kid vs. Dracula to Billy the Kid Versus Dracula (although the appended poster indicates "vs.", this film's on-screen title clearly shows the full word, "Versus", as depicted in the opening credits (available on YouTube), thus confirming the use)
- Oppose per BOVINEBOY2008 and wbm1058. We should also mention MOS:CT ("In titles of English-language works, every word except for articles, short coordinating conjunctions, or short prepositions is capitalized"...) —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 05:16, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
