ABC islands → ABC Islands – Both listed topic's articles use a capital I. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 20:53, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Seems non-controversial to me. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:00, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Support per WP:DABNAME since both are proper nouns in addition to ABC Islands bear. I'd say this could easily be speedily moved as uncontroversial per above.~~ Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:15, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral per the below, noting that although the DAB now has 1 upper case "I" and 1 lower case but there is also as noted ABC Islands bear that could be added. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:27, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support and speedy close. -- Netoholic @ 12:51, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In light of the mentioned undiscussed moves, going to oppose. Certainly, this titles of this disambig and the listed articles are tied together per WP:DABNAME. -- Netoholic @ 03:19, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. These are not proper names. The Caribbean islands were subject to an undiscussed move just this past February; I've reverted the change to the capital I. The Alaska islands should also be moved to lower case. I do favor moving ABC islands (Leeward Antilles) to this title as the WP:primary topic (see pageviews), putting a hatnote on it, and eliminating the dab page per WP:TWODABS.

Oppose - Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao are islands. For example, the Marshall Islands, aka Republic of the Marshall Islands, would be a proper noun. The ABC islands is simply an acronym. Also see BES islands. Caribbean Netherlands or Dutch Caribbean would be title case since both words are proper nouns. ^{Adding link that may help clear-up confusion over miscapitalizations:} See Dutch Caribbean Legal Portal. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 21:17, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support ABC islands is an example of bad English grammar. If these three islands are collectively known as the ABC Islands, then the word becomes a Proper Noun, proper nouns should always be capitalized. The same can be said for the SSS Islands and the BES Islands. Xindeho (talk) 09:26, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are incorrect. See the link I just added. Also see the first paragraph of WP:NCCPT. ABC islands is nothing more than an acronym for 3 proper nouns that comprise a common noun; i.e., "islands". Neither ABC nor BES are a formal governmental unit that would warrant titling as a proper noun. See UN geonames. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 13:51, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
