SLAB! → Slab! – I was going to be WP:BOLD and make the move as I believe MOS:TMRULES applies here, but wanted to have other editors' inputs as I'm not super experienced with article title guidelines. sksatsuma 14:20, 17 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPath^talk 14:49, 24 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPath^talk 23:58, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

• The two BBC sources use "Slab" with no exclamation mark. The other cited sources are offline. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:15, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

• Agree with the capitalization per MOS as it is not an acronym; conflicted about the '!' - it's not used as a character substitute and the band's material uses it almost 100% across releases. Were the '!' to be removed we'd likely need a rename such as "Slab (band)" to disambiguate. -- t_kiehne (talk) 16:52, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
• Support original proposal. Lowercasing the title seems most in compliance with the MOS. It sounds like sources mostly leave out the exclamation point, but given that "Slab" alone would need to be disambiguated, I think retaining the exclamation point is favorable as it uses WP:NATURAL disambiguation and is more WP:CONCISE.
