Soundcould artist name Peter Kuli
It seems to me that we should add the artist who made the OK Boomer song referenced: Peter Kuli as indicated by the cited Boston Globe article Ocajublinky (talk) 03:13, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Abigail Disney
On 11/10/2019 Abigail Disney ranted on Twitter about people being offended by the riposte.[1] Is this worth noting? Linguaddict (talk) 13:44, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- Why would it be worth adding to the article? Toddst1 (talk) 17:54, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Name change?
Should the name of the article be changed to OK, boomer? Just a thought. Whoisjohngalt (talk) 21:43, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
- I would say no because of MOS:TMRULES "Do not "correct" the spelling, punctuation, diacritics, or grammar of trademarks to be different from anything found in reliable sources – the name should be recognizable as referring to the topic" Adding OK, boomer as a redirect to this is a maybe, but I haven't really seen that version propagated as a meme, only mentioned in one of the headlines.

- Should the "boomer" be capitalised? Baby boomer doesn't use the term as a proper noun so should this page be moved to OK boomer? Nixinova T / C 22:41, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi all. I have just declined the page move request. I think WP:Star Trek Into Darkness (page doesn't exist, but maybe it should) applies here, Pete "OK MAMIL" AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 10:28, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Not all sources capitalize it. Since there is ambiguity, we should go with MOS:AT and WP:NCCAPS, which says use sentence case and "Boomer" is not a proper noun. See also WP:NCCAPS. This discussion should continue despite @Shirt58:'s abritrary and not fully-informed ubervote with an explanation that made no sense - (some kind of unintelligible rambling about some science fiction film and a guy named Pete).

I boldly moved the page to "ok boomer", as I think the lowercase form is far more common. Linguaddict reverted saying that "OK Boomer" is more prevalent. Is this true? --MZMcBride (talk) 22:00, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
