Oppose—Capping the D for "district" is usually not done on WP. MOSCAPS says to minimise unnecessary capitalisation. Tony (talk) 00:16, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - "usually not done on WP" - everyone is free to look at the pages given in the RM (Category:Districts of Abkhazia, Category:Districts of Belarus, Category:Districts of Kazakhstan, Category:Districts of Transnistria) and then to decide if the claim by Tony1 is justified by truth or not. Additionally: districts/municipalities in Georgia : Category:Districts of Georgia (country) and elsewhere in WP, cf.: USA Washington County, Belarus Minsk District, Ukraine Desnianskyi District, Kiev, Kazakhstan Abay District, East Kazakhstan, Vietname Thoại Sơn District, Iran Asara District, Russia Dmitrovsky District, Moscow Oblast. 78.55.225.61 (talk) 00:12, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and RM the other articles in the category (and the subcategory names): If you see the original Cyrillic, the word we're translating as "district" is not capitalized. This is the same as ongoing Chinese railway RM: overcapitalization to suit personal preferences, and basically is a form of WP:OR. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 05:29, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relevant are rules of the English language, capitalisation of other languages is irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.55.174.216 (talk) 00:14, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support as is done per WP house style for articles in ~75 other district categories
