– Per MOS:CAPS, we should only render titles as proper names if they are consistently capitalized in a significant majority of reliable sources. That is not at all the case for these gold rush articles. See ngram results: [1][2][3][4] - in some cases gold rush has an outright lead, while in others the Gold Rush variant leads but it is close enough that the "significant majority" mark is not met. — Amakuru (talk) 14:51, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
SupportGold rush is a descriptive term. Just because it happened at a particular place and this place is used attributively in the noun phrase|name does not ipso facto mean that the whole noun phrase should be capitalised and treated as a proper name. This is a common misperception. It is still a descriptive name (a gold rush that occurred at place X) and therefore intrinsically a common name|noun phrase. This aside, the ngram evidence clearly shows that we should not cap these terms (per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS) as they are clearly not being capped consistently in sources and do not meet the threshold (not even close) whereby these terms would be capped on Wiki.
