– Per WP:DIFFCAPS / only usage of this term that is in lowercase. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:44, 28 November 2019 (UTC) —Relisting. – bradv  🍁  04:54, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Man's best friend (phrase) → Man's best friend
 * Man's best friend → Man's Best Friend
 * Oppose - unlike the situations for when the only usage has a specific capitalization and editors argue that a reader writing that specific way can only mean they are searching for that title, the same cannot be said for all lowercase. That's just how people search. This helps no one other than you for some reason (and it's a bit annoying that I'll need to copy/paste my same argument to all nominations now). --Gonnym (talk) 23:44, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Support this one. I don't think there's any question that the idiom is the primary topic. The association of dogs and humans has been close and important for tens of thousands of years.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:09, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nom although the other uses of the upper case do get a comparable number of views (3,465) than the phrase (4,986) [|Man%27s_Best_Friend_(1993_film)|Man%27s_Best_Friend_(The_Ren_%26_Stimpy_Show)|Man%27s_Best_Friend_(manga)|Man%27s_Best_Friend_(album)|Man%27s_Best_Friend_(1952_film)|Man%27s_Best_Friend_(1935_film)] it seems reasonable especially by PT#2 to land readers here.

 * Oppose, just because the idiom is so widely known, does not mean it's much more likely to be sought. The page views suggest it isn't. --В²C ☎ 23:27, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support first move. Move second one to Man's best friend (disambiguation). The phrase is clearly the primary topic. Interstellarity (talk) 16:17, 7 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Support proposal of Interstellarity. Hyperbolick (talk) 20:52, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support both per WP:DIFFCAPS the idiom page, and WP:DABNAME: "The spelling that reflects the majority of items on the page is preferred to less common alternatives" for the disambiguation page. -- Netoholic @ 19:12, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with that rather than Interstellarity but it doesn't matter that much since there is also 1 other lower case entry but that is to dog and "dog" is linked on Man's best friend (phrase) anyway.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 11:29, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per above comments. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:49, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support, clearly the primary topic. Cavalryman (talk) 13:46, 15 December 2019 (UTC).
