  • Styles of house music#A , please see the layout of at least 80% of these genre pages which includes headings,such as "Characteristics" and "Popularity" as well as exceptionally informative leads and music genre boxes as WP:NOTDICTIONARY.

Afro Tech → Afro tech – The main reason: MOS:GENRECAPS. I already did one-edit renaming, but the author of the article was against it, which resulted in a long discussion on the topic, the main arguments of which can be read here on similar renaming Talk:Afro house#Afro House speedy deletion, contest & discussion. In short, the number of uses of capitalization of such musical terms in sources according to the wiki guidelines doesn't make a difference, only the proper name or not is important for genre names. In some cases we follow the grammar rules if a word is not translated from original language (applies to genres in German and some local religious traditions), and sometimes also acronyms can be found in the title, which are also capitalized. The other cases are only relevant for determining whether a term is a proper name or not. "tech" is a truncation of techno or a borrowing from "tech house", and therefore on either side cannot be considered a proper name so it should not be capitalized.

  • Strong support per nom. The only person opposed to this, who never provided a coherent explanation as to why this article's title should be grammatically incorrect, has finally, finally been indefinitely blocked for disruption. City of Silver 04:40, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
