Religious Question → Religious question – Grammar. Noun. Chicbyaccident (talk) 22:10, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Lean to Oppose – this is the name of a specific particular event and it can be argued to be a proper noun here. In Portuguese, it is either written in title case or within scare quotes, and English literature on it is sparse: Machado uses Religious Question, von Sinner "Religious Question", as does Thornton. This is akin to the Dreyfuss Affair which, to my surprise, rests at the sentence-case, following a brief move war in 2009 or so, so it might be tested in a fresh RM.

 * Oppose, per proper noun for a specific event and situation. Or else it's a generic "religious question" which has little meaning to this page. And the Dreyfus Affair is at Dreyfus affair? Thanks for pointing that out, and I'm not seeing an RM so it was boldly moved at some point and can, I would think, be moved back. Some of these things are proper nouns, and this one easily qualifies. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:04, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Neutral, pending further research: We seem to have a lot of articles like this and most are capitalized, so either we're right to do so, or more articles need to move. Some quick looking around shows them commonly capitalized in RS, but not universally.  I don't know if it's close enough to overwhelmingly consistent style in the RS to support the capitalization (or whether this varies by case). Being "the name of a specific particular event" isn't sufficient; we routinely lower-case event monickers, most especially when they are are descriptive like this, if the sources do not capitalize them with near uniformity.  This particular case has too few sources cited to investigate it yet.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  03:47, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
