– Conforms to MOS:JOBTITLES and MOS:CAPS. "Members" should be considered a common noun, as it is in similar articles such as:

  1. List of female members of the Scottish Parliament
  2. List of former members of the United States House of Representatives
  3. List of current members of the United States House of Representatives
  4. List of members of the European Parliament (2019–2024)
  5. List of members of the 16th Bundestag, among numerous others. Woko Sapien (talk) 18:26, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
These titles are more WP:CONCISE, most already exist as redirects and avoid JOBTITLES and CAPS problems. estar8806 (talk) 21:29, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Most readers probably would not understand what MSP means in those titles. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:47, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. We have to think about all potential readers. A Scottish or British person would most likely know what an MSP is. The same cannot be said for someone from Korea or Egypt. Keivan.fTalk 23:09, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The alternative could instead start with "List of Scottish", since it's the Scottish Conservatives, Scottish Labour, Scottish Liberal Democrats, etc. Only List of Scottish independent MSPs would be a little odd. (Note that for Westminter, the lists seem to use "United Kingdom MPs".) It could almost be "List of _____s in the Scottish Parliament" (Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Greens), except that doesn't work for SNP or Labour. SilverLocust 💬 21:48, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
