La Banque postale → La Banque Postale – This is a "neutral" discussion-opener. An editor recently changed the capitalization within the article and added {{DISPLAYTITLE:La Banque Postale}} which does not work (see WP:DISPLAYTITLE). I checked the official web page. While that web page typically uses an "all caps" font, where it does not, it uses "La Banque Postale." Based on the log history of this page and La Banque Postale, the company may have changed its "capitalization style" sometime since this Wikipedia page was created. Note that the French version of this article, fr:La Banque postale, still retains the lowercase "postale." davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:37, 18 October 2020 (UTC) davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:37, 18 October 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

Considering that the bank and name is French, I would argue the title of the article should remain in accordance to the capitalization used as it would appear in the frankophone sphere. I was originally following the capitalization seen from the English version of the La Banque postale website, as the user davidwr noted above, being the reason for the attempt to change the capitalization of this article. But now considering that the capitalization of the name in French is different from what one would write in English, I only find it fit for the name of the article to maintain fidelitous to the original capitalization of the bank's name as it would appear in French writing.Randyinbonn (talk) 10:06, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh the irony. I don't read French. I wonder how reliable French-language sources written after the bank started capitalizing the word "Postale" on its web site continue to use the lowercase form and how many use the uppercase form. If more use the uppercase form, it would be worth looking into whether the French-language Wikipedia article should be changed. Someone with an understanding of that Wikipedia's equivalent to Wikipedia:Article titles (possibly fr:Wikipédia:Conventions sur les titres?) and some familiarity with that Wikipedia's editing culture would have to make that decision, not me. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:05, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
