Contest PROD[edit]

Type of law enforcement officer with jurisdiction over 53 million people is inherently notable. This article doesn't even appear to fall into any of the categories listed at WP:NOTDIR... ninety:one 19:17, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. But you might want to consider (IMHO) merging with Bailiff as I did similarly: Bailiff#Ontario. Your information would likely be of interest to anyone reading the main article. --JeffJ (talk) 18:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

County court bailiffCounty Court bailiff – There is a single County Court in England and Wales, so the term should be capitalized Mauls (talk) 23:00, 3 February 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:19, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Mauls: "There is a single County Court ..." :: only since 2014. There are countless items of information around that were written before then. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:20, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Even if there were more than one, each would be a proper noun ("Borsetshire County Court" etc). County court is different because thethat topic is county courts in general. 94.21.238.64 (talk) 07:57, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This article isn't about county courts in general, it is about the baliffs from the County Court of England and Wales. It is also an article primarily about current usage, not the historical position. Mauls (talk) 11:13, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I meant County court is general, and this topic is specific. That is the justification for using the caps. It doesn't matter if there is more than one County Court, it naturally disambiguates a County Court bailiff from a county court bailiff (whatever that might be). 94.21.238.64 (talk) 06:25, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
