Article Title Appropriateness

Should we really make an article called Y, or the like? I mean, it's kinda like making an article for The or So. At the very least, I think these should turn into Y (Slash Command) or the like, since that will happen to work for these --GuyPerfect 16:43, 6 August 2007 (EDT)
