The result of the move request was: moved. Clear consensus to move all of these. (note: looks like the rmcloser script won't help me for this, I'll have to go through them all manually. Will take some time.) (closed by non-admin page mover) echidnaLives  -  talk  -  edits  01:50, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

 * 1. per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:SPORTCAPS, in order for us to capitalize, it should be usually capitalized in our sources. Otherwise, the default is to not capitalize and use sentence case. In this case, it is almost universally lowercase in the sources. See this quick source review I just conducted:

Non-capitalized "f" in "final" : Capitalized "F" in "Final" :
 * ESPN (2)
 * ''The UEFA
 * Sky sports
 * The Guardian
 * Washington Post
 * CBS sports (2)
 * The Daily Mirror''
 * AS
 * MassLive
 * AV interactive
 * Real Madrid
 * 90min.com
 * SportingNews.com (2)3
 * Manchester United
 * The Football Faithful
 * NBC Sports
 * Khelnow
 * Real Madrid


 * 2. To be WP:CONSISTENT with the recent rm I closed over at Talk:1993 UEFA Champions League final, which is just the continuation of the European Cup from 1993 - present.
 * 3. Per NGRAMS, the lowercase "final" is predominant since around 2006. prior to that, it was equivocal. — Shibboleth ink  (♔ ♕) 21:10, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Support per outcomes at the two RMs Stevie fae Scotland listed on the 1993 Champions League final talk page and the reason I gave re the 2022 FIFA World Cup final is titled. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:50, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:NCCAPS. This is not a proper noun.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 21:55, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Support but this didn't really need an RM IMHO. The precedent has been set by other RMs and with the ngram the way it is, I'd have just moved these as Uncontroversial. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 22:23, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I did consider it! But I thought I might get pushback given how many articles it would be! I wanted to set a precedent so nobody reverts. But I will probably go ahead and do that next time —  Shibboleth ink  (♔ ♕) 00:09, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Entirely inappropriate, each competition needs to be considered separately, given FA Cup Final RM is going in a different direction (as that is a proper noun)... GiantSnowman 12:26, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per the recent similar RMs and WP:NCCAPS. — Jkudlick &#x2693; (talk) 02:16, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

 * I also included it there, I think it keeps getting deleted because they don't want to see it. xD — Shibboleth ink (♔ ♕) 13:40, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support to keep in-line with Champions League. GiantSnowman 12:25, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Same reasons I gave at Champions League finals RM linked above. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 13:54, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per all. And we can ask User:Tol to use TolBot to execute the bulk move if closer needs help. Dicklyon (talk) 03:47, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
