Oppose. Reliable sources unanimously refer to this album as "xx", not "XX" - so WP:DIFFCAPS works here. 162 etc. (talk) 19:27, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why? How? Not so. Please look at the article, please look at the cover of the LP which is one single big X, not Xx. Or please look at Amazon.com. This is exactly a case of what WP:DIFFCAPS shows, that ultra-minor variations are not helpful to readers. It is a (The xx album) why would we want to hide this fact from readers?

Weak oppose, the xx album seems to be PRIMARY by page views and perhaps long-term significance.--Ortizesp (talk) 04:38, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support in principle. While the present title is permissible by WP:DIFFCAPS, differentiation by caps is rarely a good solution and particularly not in this case. Searches are often done without conscious selection of case. xx (the xx album) or xx (xx album) would probably be better. Cinderella157 (talk) 08:36, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Shwcz (talk) 08:01, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The name of this topic is visually and auditorily indistinguishable from the uppercase (in the font I see, except by size, for which you would need some other letters nearby to be able to see). The title is also not shown on the cover art, so the whole topic is generally confusing and thus requiring clarification. Hypothetically, the "The" could be omitted, making it just xx (xx album), as in Let It Be (Beatles album) and Blue & Lonesome (Rolling Stones album). However, the "The" is included for I See You (The xx album), and this title should be consistent with that one. — BarrelProof (talk) 17:34, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support – small diffs are not generally a good idea. Dicklyon (talk) 23:15, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
