UK Music Charts → ? – Per WP:NCCAPS, unnecessary capitalization should be avoided. This is not a list of charts produced by any individual company, so it could be retitled "List of British record charts", or just "British record charts" or "British music charts". I'm not sure which of these I would prefer. Similar articles are enumerated in Template:Record Charts. Jc86035 (talk) 14:39, 3 June 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943  (talk) 04:20, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Support as purely descriptive. Moving to "UK music charts" would be the easiest way to deal with the caps issue without upsetting whatever consensus there was for the current title. Primergrey (talk) 19:36, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose these are produced by the Official Charts Company, right? If so, it's rightly a proper name. feminist (talk) 03:25, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * No, the article says "The majority of them are produced by the Official Charts Company", not that the OCC has a product by this name. Dicklyon (talk) 03:20, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Support UK music charts per Primergrey. This is not a single chart, but a list of charts so it's not the proper name of anything, and while most of the listed charts are produced by the Official Charts Company not all of them are. At least most of the listed articles are proper nouns and correctly use capitals, e.g. Official Audio Streaming Chart, but this is a Wikipedia-compiled list.

 * Move to British music charts . Per recent change to WP:NCTV and other venues, we seem to be favouring "British" over the abbreviation "UK" these days, so this seems the simplest way to resolve the issue. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 09:51, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I oppose that suggestion. To me it would imply charts of music of British origin, not charts of music in the UK which includes music that is very much not British. For example Lil Nas X, an American singing country rap (an American genre if ever there was one) is currently at number 2 on the singles chart is not British Music any more than The Beatles were American music when they topped the US charts.

 * OK, fine. Move to UK music charts is fine with me then. Thanks &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 13:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and Primegrey and Thryduulf. No reason for caps here, and alt name change of Amakuru is more controversial. Dicklyon (talk) 03:20, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
