The alleged "Lake Placid" on this notebook page ends in a letter with a tail, as in g, q, y, etc. Is it the opinion of those consistently insisting that "Lake Placid" on this page is actually "L*** P****g"/"L*** P****y"/"L*** P****q"? Because that's the only thing actually legible from that picture.

I think the fact that we can agree that: the words look like L*** P*****, and an insider has said that this song was, at points, referred to as "Lake Placid", is relatively compelling that that is what's written on the notebook. I agree the last letter looks like it has a descender (such as g, y, p or q). We can see in this image of her handwriting, that her script is highly stylised and uses quite extravagant flourishes. While none of the lowercase "d"s at the end of words have a descender quite as long as to match the notebook image, they do have longer tails than the average person's writing. However, I don't think we can say for certain that the last letter does have a descender. The supposed "track list" is in the page margin, with a long line to the right that looks like it was drawn back and forth. There are other scribbles and words written over each other on the page as well. Based on all of this, my guess, and apparently the guess of people who had access to the material before it was leaked to the public, and a decent number of fans, is that it says "Lake Placid", but I appreciate your point that the notebook isn't totally legible. I think it would be reasonable to rewrite the sentence to make it more clear that it's an interpretation of a difficult to read image, with a speculation note linking to either (both?) BlackoutZone's and Honeymouns' posts giving their deciphering of the list. — Haecandrome (talk) 09:01, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
