Politics of the Belly → Politics of the belly – The article was moved from Politics of the belly to Politics of the Belly in 2013, with the reason "Proper noun". It is, however, not a proper noun. English translations of two books by Jean-Francois Bayart, the author credited with popularising the term, both use lowercase: the second edition of The State in Africa, as seen here, and Global Subjects, as seen here.

Support Figures of speech are generally not capitalized as proper nouns, and sources point to this being no exception. Colin M (talk) 18:31, 18 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Support, but this move should be uncontroversial surely? —Brigade Piron (talk) 19:20, 18 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Since it had been moved before, I thought it best to do it as a requested move. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 01:32, 19 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
