Anatolian PlateauAnatolian 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]
