The result of the move request was: page moved to Bad date list. Nobody seems to object to the proposed new title, but sentence case appears to be preferred according to policy at WP:NC#Article title format — Amakuru (talk) 19:04, 17 July 2013 (UTC) (non-admin closure)Reply

Bad Date Book → Bad Date List – This is the most commonly used title of these schemes. Bad Date List appears to be most commonly used title in US and overall in English speaking world. In UK, Ireland and Australia the title "Ugly Mugs" is most commonly used. Note: proposed by another editor, I moved this to the talk page so I could use the correct template. I am neutral on this.

Seems like the capitalization should be sentence case either way—Bad date book or Bad date list. Some organizations may refer to their particular lists as proper nouns, but the article discusses a general concept. --BDD (talk) 21:07, 8 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
- Agreed. Bad Date Book may have been an actual book, but bad date list is simply a generic name and should not be capitalized. The article is not just about the "Bad Date Book". Apteva (talk) 02:56, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
