– In standard English, hyphenation is required for the compound adjective. Capitalisation is correct only for a proper noun. Invert redirection or move page towards the correct spelling. Numerous articles already have the correct spelling and are not listed here. 83.228.144.229 (talk) 14:43, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Skeptical: Saying hyphenation is "required" in English in this situation is not really accurate. Such constructions are often found without hyphens as well. Without performing any real analysis, my impression is that the form without the hyphen is more common for most of these terms. "Euro-Mediterranean" should probably be "Euro–Mediterranean" (with an en dash). —&hairsp;BarrelProof (talk) 16:52, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
