Title change

[edit]

The title should be changed to remove the "s" at the end and make it non-plural. I plan to do that in the next few days.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 18:32, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will also be capitalizing all three words in the title since this is the practice followed in the article and in most mentions of the phrase online that I found through a google search. It is also the practice followed by WADA which is where the phrase originated from I believe.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 22:53, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have doubts that this would meet MOS:CAPS. Graham (talk) 20:48, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can you clarify what part of MOS:CAPS you have doubts about? What about points mentioned on talk page regarding results of google search and convention used by organization that originated the term?--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 21:32, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Specifically I'm not sure whether it is "consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources [emphasis in original]". We have to be wary of relying solely on "official" usage or exclusively usage in specialized sources lest we fall into the specialized-style fallacy. So I'd be more comfortable if this was reviewed by multiple editors through an RM process before being moved. Graham (talk) 22:49, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the sort of thing we would be very reluctant to capitalize on Wikipedia. It's definitely not a proper noun and looks like WP:SIGCAPS to me. A proper discussion is needed. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:38, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, it's definitely not a proper noun and looks like WP:SIGCAPS, specialized-style fallacy and not necessary per MOS:CAPS. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
