Hi Tobias, We had a discussion some time back about district naming. The Indian districts page reads, "The small 'd' convention by the Indian district project is disputed. See: Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian districts/Naming." Can we please remove that? As you can see on the discussion page, consensus is to use the small 'd'. We got to choose one version to avoid to unnecessary moves and counter-moves. Please advise. Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 00:44, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can't see the consensus for small 'd'. And I still oppose, since uppercase is used everywhere(?) in WP outside India. If the only argument is, there had to be choosen one standard, so 'D' is the better choice, because this brings it in line with country subdivision article titles. There was a discussion, but the proponents for small 'd' left quite fast. Arguments are on two lines: 1) What is the more correct form "X district" or "X District"? 2) Even if X District is not the more correct form, as long as it is not uncorrect, it could still be used to have a harmonized presentation in WP. - Tobias Conradi (Talk) 03:02, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
