Ghost Site Mounds → Ghost site mounds – Alternatively, maybe just Ghost site. The historical marker says "The Ghost site consists of 3 earthen mounds. ..." This book calls it the Ghost site without mentioning mounds, as does this one. I can't find any source that calls this place "Ghost Site Mounds" in a sentence. The title is purely descriptive. Most "XXX site" articles are at lowercase site, as in sources (well, the ones I have fixed at least; there are others).

 * Support Not a lot of sources to be found that would show this to be necessary capitalisation per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS. On the other hand, it is intrinsically a descriptive name phrase that appears to have been capitalised for emphasis or significance - but we don't do that per MOS:SIGNIFCAPS.

 * Support. This is not a proper name, but a descriptive term.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  08:49, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you have an opinion on "Ghost site mounds" vs. "Ghost site". I'm leaning toward the latter after looking at sources.  Dicklyon (talk) 06:27, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have no strong views on this. I might lean very slightly to the original title (other than for capitalisation) being the status quo. However, if the sources are indicating "Ghost site" then this will outweigh retaining the existing. Cinderella157 (talk) 06:53, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It be more WP:CONCISE, but whatever dominates in the sources.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:47, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The more I look at it, the more I think the short version is preferable. This article isn't about the mounds per se, but about the site as a whole, which includes the mounds. Ghost site already redirects here, and doesn't seem to be ambiguous.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  07:58, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Support ghost site, WP:CONCISE (t &#183; c)  buidhe  02:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Relisting for further consideration of the proposal to also remove "mounds" from the title. So far, there is consensus to avoid title-case capitalization. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:58, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I've looked at more sources, and now strongly prefer Ghost site. It's also supported by SMcCandlish and buidhe, and semi-supported by Cinderella157, and not objected to by anyone, so probably that's where we'll end up.  Let's see if we can get more input, too.

 * I am quite prepared to accept that DL has acted diligently as to determining that sources support Ghost site. Cinderella157 (talk) 05:00, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
