Over-capitalization
Why we're not using "EUR-Lex": Per
"EU legislation stored in the Eur-Lex database" [1], "Eur-Lex: Access to European Union Law" [2], "Eur-Lex 2013" [3], "databases used for this purpose include Eur-Lex, ..." [4], "All Eur-lex material used in the work is © European Union" [5][6], "documents from the EU's Eur-Lex website" [7], "sections can be retrieved from the Eur-Lex website" [8][9], "administrative publications that can be found in the Eur-Lex (former CELEX) database" [10], "The documents were downloaded from the Eur-Lex website" [11], "data calculated from the Federal Law Gazette and Eur-Lex" [12], "See generally Eur-Lex, Process and Players, 1.1.3" [13], "To quote from the Eur-lex website ..." [14]
This isn't even language-specific:
"Kilder: Den Store Danske of Eur-lex"[15][16], "La possibilità di rivedere i trattati istitutivi, spiega ‘Eur-Lex’, è fondamentale per l’Unione europea (UE)" [17], "Traité sur le fonctionnement de l’Union européenne : article 86 - Eur-Lex" [18], "В официальном журнале Евросоюза Eur-Lex в субботу" [19], "über Eur-Lex, einfache Suche mit Jahr und Nummer" [20], "el portal jurídico plurilingüe «Eur-lex» de la Unión Europea" [21], etc.
And other stylizations show up, e.g. "EUR-LEX" [22][23][24], while sources are sometimes inconsistent even in the same document ("Eur-Lex, 1999 ... EUR-Lex, 1992" [25]).
When the reliable sources do not consistently apply an unusual stylization (including extraneous capitalization), Wikipedia does not either. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 13:35, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

- Support per nom. This seems to be another case of Wikipedia inventing its own capitalization for a proper name that's consistently capitalized by both the holder and other news sources, which is something we shouldn't modify. SnowFire (talk) 00:40, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
