Therefore, I propose we revert the title back to the lower-case L spelling, unless some source is found from WEP or Toei that definitively establishes the capital L. --[[User:GrantB|GrantB]] 16:41, July 31, 2010 (UTC) |

Imported
The exported file from Wikipedia with complete history was 11MB, which gave me an error saying it was above the maximum size. So I edited the file and reduced it to 3MB, that working on the second try. Dream Focus 15:06, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
- Whoops! The first third is the oldest versions of the article. I wanted the most recent one. I'll grab that then. Dream Focus 15:13, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
Argument for lower-case L in Golion
In the US DVD releases, the subtitles refer to Golion as "Golion", with a lower-case L. The box art title is in all-caps, but the "G" is taller, while the "L" is uniform height with the rest of "olion" suggesting that it is not capital. I have seen promotional materials use both capitalizations, but all officially released products support my use of lower-case L. The capital-L idea appears to stem from fandom and unofficial sources, and is probably considered "original research" (a no-no in traditional Wikipedia), whereas these English-language DVD releases are definitive, cite-able sources.
Therefore, I propose we revert the title back to the lower-case L spelling, unless some source is found from WEP or Toei that definitively establishes the capital L. --GrantB 16:41, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
- The Wikipedia and Anime News Network [1] call it GoLion. Alternate names include Go Lion. I put the Japanese name into Google translate just now [2] and it translates 百獣王ゴライオン into Beast King GoLion. The letters could be capital or lower case in the title, as it appears on the box. The box description surely mentions the name as it describes it. Does it capitalize it at all? Dream Focus 03:57, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
