Facility Condition Index → Facility condition index –

Per WP:CAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, 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. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles.

 * Support but I proposed it for deletion instead, since it has been so blatantly wrong since day 1 (wrong definition in the lead), and is mostly unsourced junk of the top of someone's head. It does not appear to be a notable topic on its own, and could be covered in one line in some other article. Dicklyon (talk) 23:40, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, I support deletion too, now you point it out. Tony   (talk)  10:46, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

It's back
Undeleted on request of User:RobertGBrooks. So I worked on the case problems and such. The user who had it undeleted (Brooks) is a principle, so there's a WP:COI problem, and nothing but one primary ref that I found. Dicklyon (talk) 03:06, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It certainly does look like a CoI. RobertGBrooks has only ever edited this page (and one other?), once each. I wonder whether his company, Applied Management Engineering, Inc, has a stake in this "index". Tony   (talk)  09:58, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, they co-authored it and promote it as an approach. I took out some explicit talk about the company, but made a mistake in leaving the acronym AME in the article undefined.  I'll look at what to do next...  Dicklyon (talk) 16:22, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I am not Col. Robert G Brooks. Just plain old Robert G Brooks. Please Google the FCI topic. It is nationally-used benchmark for educational and military facilities analysis. It is aprt of the accreditation process for k-12 schools. No, I am not with AME, but I was when the benchmark was developed — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobertGBrooks (talk • contribs) 19:48, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I concur with Robert C. Brooks. While this methodology may not be written about by second-party sources as frequently as we might prefer for Wikipedia, it is noteworthy simply through the degree to which it is used in various forms by a variety of jurisdictions and organization.
