Requested move 6 October 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. This RM is one of those cases where we see different titling criteria backing different titles: participants identified WP:COMMONNAME in support of the proposed move, and WP:CONSISTENT in opposition. However, the supporters also had additional guidelines (MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS) bolstering their claim, so my read of the discussion is that the weight of relevant policies in guidelines supports this move overall.

Anatolian Plateau → Anatolian plateau – More often lowercase in sources, so per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS we should use lowercase. Dicklyon (talk) 21:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. It's not entirely clear why some geographical features come to have standarized names that over time become capitalized as proper names (proper-noun phrases), while other features attract (often multiple) descriptive appellations that do not achieve that consistency. But it is a fact, and we have a "consistently capitalized in independent reliable sources" standard specifically to avoid editors engaging in endless WP:OR about what "should" be a proper name and why they think so, which are questions no one agrees on (with Wikipedia or with disciplines that address such questions, including linguistics and philsosophy). Cf. WP:PNPN for some background on that. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:19, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per SMcCandlish (whom I don't always agree with). Tony (talk) 06:21, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. I think using capitalization would match similar articles. — Jɑuмe ^(dis-me) 00:28, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nuvolet, based on which policy? RodRabelo7 (talk) 23:08, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen other articles with geographical information using capitalization: Iberian Peninsula, Meseta Central, Sistema Central (Central System), etc. — Jɑuмe ^(dis-me) 01:05, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as a proper name (and per sitewide consistency, many other named plateaus are uppercased on Wikipedia). Randy Kryn (talk) 13:57, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike some other plateaus though, not capitalizing is demonstrably the more common method. [1] Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 19:13, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
