– Per MOS:JOBTITLES, MOS:SIGCAPS, MOS:CAPS#Expanded forms of abbreviations, MOS:EXPABBR. Please see the recently closed RM at Talk:Aircraft maintenance engineer/Archives/2022#Requested move 26 August 2022. The case where someone is trying to use capitalization to indicate some kind of "officialness" or special meaning or certified job title is a common controversy around here, and it is not hard to find examples of article titles that use such capitalizations. But I think there is basically no support for that in the Wikipedia policies and guidelines, at least unless it can be shown that a term is consistently capitalized in independent reliable sources. Declarations by authorities, such as governments or certifying institutions, are usually not persuasive. A Google Ngram shows that "registered nurse certified in" appears to be more common in book sources than "Registered Nurse Certified in" (a string which the Ngram was unable to find in sources). Registered nurse is also a role that requires certification, but "nurse" is not capitalized in the title of that article. Another possibility would be "Certificate in Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing" or "RNC Certification for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing" or "Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing Core Certification" (the latter two being per this official website about the certification) and similar, so that the article is about the certification itself rather than about the specialized role of the people who have this certification. Please note that I included a hyphen in one of these, since that seems like a more conventional construction for that compound modifier. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:49, 3 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
