Per WP:CAPS and WP:TITLE: although a specific historical referece, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Matches the formatting of related article titles.

  • Support. This is first of all a style matter, determined for Wikipedia articles by Wikipedia's own style guidelines. That's what they're for! Every publisher decides on such matters of style for itself, and does not make itself hostage to "reliable sources" in doing so. That said, the "reliable sources" differ anyway, as B2C points out above. The fundamental principle that Tony quotes from the very start of WP:MOSCAPS kicks in: the capitalisation cannot be necessary, so it is not to be applied in this case, to what is pretty obviously a generic term in its primary uses. The article shows that. NoeticaTea? 07:34, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per MOS as described by Tony and Noetica above. Even the lead phrase "The Rural Community Councils..." suggests that it's a generic, not a proper name of a unique entity. Dicklyon (talk) 13:55, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
