International Standard → International standard (disambiguation) – As noted at the top of this page, there is a primary topic, currently at International standard. International Standard should redirect there instead of being a dab page. Cat5nap (talk) 06:32, 8 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Support. Differentiating based on capitalization is confusing (regardless of the unwise Red Meat/red meat cannard enshrined in policy at WP:NATURAL. older ≠ wiser 14:07, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the current policy; consensus is that differentiating by caps is not confusing. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:22, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Support Differentiation by caps is an argument to move International Standard (dance) here, not to trick readers into ending up at a dab instead of an article. --BDD (talk) 17:57, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * If you assume that International Standard (dance) is primary over International Standard Version. Which it may be, but I didn't assume it. Since the uncapitalized title "International standard" is not ambiguous on Wikipedia (the ambiguous topics are capitalized), the proposed move would not improve the encyclopedia, no matter which assumption you make. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:32, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, the term "International Standard" for a standard produced by an international standards organization is very commonly capitalized, and thus I suggest that this term is also primary for the capitalized variation. For example, the International Organization for Standardization, which is the largest such organization, abbreviates its standards as "IS". When referring to these standards, it is common for people to capitalize both words – either to show that they are using this special term or to introduce that abbreviation. Note that the dab page already describes the standardization usage as primary. —Cat5nap (talk) 17:57, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I have no issue with this page being moved to International Standard (disambiguation) and redirecting International Standard to International standard as an R from alternate capitalisation. That also makes sense, since the ambiguous title is in title case. -- JHunterJ (talk) 10:43, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
