order for the USFL draft is set in stone."). You've got HBCU Gameday in the wrong list ("Players selected in the USFL draft will be given the opportunity..."). You've got Sportskeeda in the wrong list – it's lowercasing except in the headline ("In the USFL draft held last season, 280 players were chosen" and "What is the difference between the NFL draft and the USFL draft?" and "The USFL draft will not involve any trades"). DBusiness is only lowercase outside of the headline ("players can request USFL draft eligibility once they are two years out of high school"). Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has lowercase in its headline. The linked Sports Illustrated article doesn't contain either version of the phrase at all. Many of the ones in your uppercase list only contain the phrase in their headline, and many publications use title case for headlines. Overall, it looks like a rather mixed bag. To me it looks like your own links are convincing for lowercase. —⁠ ⁠
2513:). Exactly who considers what a proper name out of these kinds of categories, why, and with what bright lines (if any) varies by thinker, and there's no global consensus on it. For many if not most definitions of the concept, having a unique referent in the world is irrelevant ("Michael" is a proper name despite there being millions of Michaels), but having a specific and unique referent within the particular context is usually a factor, though it may be a group referent, e.g. "Turks". Some definitions would actually exclude that, though, or even anything that can take a plural form. There really, really is not actual real-world agreement on what "proper name" means and what qualifies. 2568:, since we just have a rule to capitalize only what is near-universally capitalized in the indy RS material, and use lowercase otherwise, even when capitalization is pretty frequent. That is, we are sidestepping all of the thorny philosophy-of-names questions entirely. Or trying to hard to do so; various editors keep dragging proper-naming philosophy matters back into such discussions, either because their educational background has inculcated them with specific ideas on the topic, or because they believe it will help them get the capitalization they subjectively want for some topic as a signifier of importance. 2439:. If I publish a recipe called "SMcCandlish's Sandwich" then that would be a title of a published/creative work, and as such a proper name (though in some citation styles it would be required to be rendered "SMcCandlish's sandwich" in sentence case), and taking quotation marks as a minor work. But the underlying sandwich type you can make from the recipe would just be an SMcCandlish sandwich, if you put the name to it. If I trademarked a commercially produced product, another form of proper name, then you might buy SMcCandlish's Sandwiches® in bulk at the supermarket. 2641:
Judicial branch of the U.S. government, and there are many other easily thought-of examples where official names greatly transcend the argument of "is 60% enough for upper-case, 70%?". Weight should be given to commonly-known official names as an equal factor to textual source casing, especially when those official names can be shown to be essentially the publicly-known common name. Language of the guideline should be changed to reflect this (what would be the steps to do this?)
2481:, etc., for how the style varies a lot dependending on whether it's a stand-alone work or a fragment, whether the name/title is original (a "true" title), a conventional names scholars and the public have agreed on, a descriptive or classifying designator assigned by academics, and so on; I'm not sure that WP should go along with the level of variety on this that is preferred by some off-site writers in that field, since it may be confusing for readers, but we seem stuck with it. 206: 1267:
doubt they're putting much thought into it at all. I searched "2023 USFL Draft" on Google and it looks like some sources do have "2023 USFL draft" in the bodies of the articles, even if it's not the majority. The style of player pages would look odd if we had 2023 NFL draft, and 2023 USFL Draft in the same article, which is how it is in some articles right now. I understand both sides of the capitalization debate though. I'm used to both "d" and "D".
2293:
Siamese cat" and "a seal-point Siamese cat", not "a Seal-Point Siamese cat"; etc., etc. There are writers and publishers out in the world who like to capitalize many things like that, but WP is not among them. Simply being more specific does not magically create proper names, and tends to have the opposite effect. "Buckingham Palace" may be a proper name but "first toilet in the second bathroom on the third floor of Buckingham Palace" is not.
1105:– I'm actually stunned by the opposition, as I had mentioned I expected this to be unopposed after having already debunked BeanieFan11's silly observations on the modern ones elsewhere, and given the overwhelming majority lowercase usage in sources for the older ones. So is this just another case of sports fans like to cap their stuff, and guidelines be damned? Do we really have to waste time on such things yet again? 82: 64: 2301:
together a chimera argument, fusing such a notion to completely unrelated matters of capitalization conventions, which actually have no connection of any kind to any philsophy-of-names positions. I guess my essay is a failure, since commingling philosophy notions of what "proper name" means with linguistics matters like capitalization conventions in a language is what every word of that essay urges against doing.

upper case, you'll find lowercase examples, e.g. "How does the USFL draft work?" in the Sporting News article and "The inaugural USFL draft ..." as the opening sentence in one of the WVTM13 articles. You have WVTM13 listed twice, by the way. Most of the TV stations are affiliates of the same networks found elsewhere in your lists. USFL News Hub (which doesn't look independent) is actually using
2467:. How to handle capitalization, italics, etc., are variable matters of convention (some of it conflicting between fields). The more often they are treated as if titles by sources then the more likely we'll be to capitalize them and give them italics or quotation marks for what sort of work they are, following source usage, though WP may not have complete consistency on this. E.g. we do 300: 166: 2517:
whether something takes a "the" is entirely a matter of incidental convention, determined on a case-by-case basis by extraneous factors that have nothing to do with the type of name or referent – it varies by region/dialect on some matters, by the accident of the words constructing the name and their order and what grammatical structure(s) they form ("
305: 1036: 909: 2257:). To put it another way, a much, much more significant piece of upcoming American political theatre is the 2024 US presidential election, but it is not "The 2020 US Presidential Election". One cannot just capitalize stuff (on WP, anyway) simply because you think something's meaningful, impactful, important, noteworthy, popular, etc. 2756:
writing rules that do not exist, to the point that they are prepared to tell people how they are supposed to think. Describing and event with a description, or naming an event by giving it a name, reflects the authors perspective and thinking style, and English is a permissive language, unlike others.

like it's "always" capped. So even I was suprised when it was pointed out that ESPN.com actually uses lowercase "NFL draft" (but that's immaterial to this RM, it only matters how sources treat "USFL /raft"). Then the MOS can be hard for non-regulars to grasp. So I try to place relevant excerpts for

Most of that source use discussion is about the modern (2022/2023) version, which is from an unrelated league of the same name. The 1980s ones are just very clearly almost always lowercase in sources, so making up reasons for treating them as proper names is very contrary to what the capitalization

Even worse arguments break out when people from one of the philosophy camps assert that nothing that can take a leading "the" is really a proper name; other philosophers think this is bunk, and linguists (aside from a handful who've been influenced by that one philosophy camp) know it's bunk because

I haven't studied all of those, but please note that you listed some publications in both your lowercase and uppercase lists (e.g. Fox Sports) and some are variations from the same organization (the Fox 5 article says it's Fox Sports). And if you look inside of some of the sources you say are using

Randy, official names are often the same as common names, but when they're not, we don't pay them much attention, like here where the official name is "Annual Player Selection Meeting". Not all sources cap this, but most do, maybe enough for WP to cap it, but it's not what we'd use for a title.

The bordering-on-ridiculous use of "near universal" and 100% consistency in casing discussions should end. If a name is a common name as judged by recognizability, sourced use, and official name, as NFL Draft is (the USFL draft, I'm not so sure and haven't commented as to keep or change, is it a

Indeed. I've started to annotate the so-called "uppercase" list above. I've found of the first 7, 2 use "USFL Draft" in sentences, and 2 use "USFL draft". The other 3 don't use the term either way, at least not in sentence context, but do cap a lot of stuff. I'll do more later.

It's also kind of weird that he thinks these obscure drafts of short-lived leagues were "culturally deep, sports-politico theatre". They were just business meetings, really; most of the players "drafted" didn't much care and didn't play for the teams.

all others as composition titles for specific events. Variation in usage is explained by the event titles also being descriptive terms, and you need to use context to determine. For a specific event in a title, it is necessarily a composition title.

Given the statistics discussion below, I have my doubts about that 11/14 assertion, and of course, what pops up first from Google isn't necessarily what we should be paying attention to (such as non-independent and unreliable sources).

I take your statement that you would no longer weigh in on capitalization questions is no longer operative. I understand your tendency to overlook P&G in favor of "consistency", but what are you aiming to be consistent with here?

If I understand correctly, you object to fixing the case of the older USFL drafts because the logo used by the more modern league has DRAFT in all caps. I know that sounds bizarre, so maybe I misunderstood something?
