Variation Selectors (Unicode block) → Variation Selectors – While variation selectors are a broader concept discussed more completely at Variant form (Unicode), when capitalized this way the term is only likely to refer to the specific Unicode block of that name. See WP:SMALLDETAILS. I'm not a huge fan of capitalization-only SMALLDETAILS cases, but this is both capitalization and pluralization, since the redirect  would remain pointed at Variant form (Unicode). Personally I would also be inclined to retarget  here, on the basis that the pluralization means someone is more likely looking for the block than the general concept, but if there's no consensus on that it can always be decided at RfD. -- Tamzin (she/they) &#124; o toki tawa mi. 16:30, 21 June 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 20:55, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Oppose – I admit I don't quite understand this yet, but searching books I find the lowercase "variation selectors" pretty common, so at least the secondary recommendation to redirect to the block seems odd. The article lead says "Variation Selectors is a Unicode block...".  But it's not a block, really; it's a type of block, or the name of a block, but there are many blocks of that type.  It may be capped in the Unicode spec, but that doesn't seem to me to make it a proper name.  If it needs to be capped, being a proper name is not the reason.  The lead should say it's a name or type or whatever it is in the Unicode standard.  And let's keep the disambiguation, as the small details aren't going to clarify much here.

 * Neutral, but against changing the capitalization - There are 308 Unicode blocks at present. The articles are mostly "Foo Bar"  or "Foo Bar (Unicode block) where "Foo Bar" is the name of the Unicode block. The casing matches that of the Unicode Standard's names of the block and I think that should remain so. DRMcCreedy (talk) 14:30, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
