– Per MOS:JOBTITLES, MOS:CAPS, WP:TITLECAPS and for consistency. The noun in all of these article titles is plural. All 307 titles with "List of fellows of [something]", including the five titles resulting from the recent RM at Talk:List of fellows of the British Academy elected in the 2020s#Requested move 4 March 2024, are using lowercase. The conflicting proposal at Talk:List of fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery#Requested move 3 March 2024 has been closed without a move. Also, there are a total of 62 "List of honorary [somethings]" articles, including the List of honorary fellows of Somerville College, Oxford, which is in the form proposed here and is an Oxford topic like many of these.
Lists of people who hold a particular title are lists of people in a category, and a category establishes a common noun, not a proper noun, and thus should be lowercased. We have things like List of presidents of the United States and List of kings of Babylon. If the plural POTUSs do not get uppercase, honorary fellows shouldn't either. Please note that the titles of honor in these titles are all plural. I sorted these approximately alphabetically except grouping the Cambridge and Oxford topics separately and putting the four unusual ones at the end. Please notice the lowercasing of "The" for "The Queen's College, Oxford" per MOS:THEINST: "The word the at the start of a name is uncapitalized, regardless of the institution's own usage." I have suggested inserting "the" before Indonesian Marine Corps. I have also suggested using "List of" for the Honorary Fellows of the Royal Society of Chemistry article. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 06:27, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
