• Oppose, as this seems another end-around
  List of Vice-Presidents of the United States, which kept the upper-cased form. On English Wikipedia those are the two where this discussion should first be held. If changed there, then change the lists which have less page watchers. Fairness. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:09, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply

  • And this claim was rejected just days ago at
    MOS:JOBTITLES, a Wikipedia guideline which is based on community consensus and which reflects all major style guides in the English-speaking world. References to English style manuals and Wikipedia guidelines would be much more meaningful than Amerika über alles arguments. Surtsicna (talk) 11:45, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply

    • Claim rejected at Czech Republic, well, that RM was closed with two (2) support and one opposed. Besides myself two editors weighed in. That's exactly what I mean, not that I'm thinking Americancentric or am waving a German-language banner (?). By not going directly to the U.S. pages and working around them this RM is off the beaten track. It will be seen by many less people than it would at the U.S. pages. When you finally get to those you can then list this one, and that one, and others, which may sway some people. That's what I mean by fairness. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:55, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Move discussions are not polls. Arguments matter, not numbers. Your rejection of separate discussions as invalid for not making reference to the US and demand that the titles of these articles be modeled after the title of
        List of Presidents of the United States, itself in contravention of guidelines and English orthography, is, by definition, Americentric. I would also add that it's unfair. Surtsicna (talk) 13:12, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply

      • So is there an argument against the proposed moves that is based on guidelines or orthography? Surtsicna (talk) 15:46, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per reason stated, that being,
  MOS:JOBTITLES. We should follow policies/guidelines above all else. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 21:51, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Strong support. There has been a clear recent trend toward following the
  MOS:JOBTITLES itself has also been further clarified. Wikipedia has a Manual of Style and we should apply it consistently. I provided lots of further detail about that in the discussion at Talk:List of presidents of the Czech Republic, so please see that discussion. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:45, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply
