Feldenkrais Method → Feldenkrais method – Change "Method" to lower case, per MOS:AT. The rationale here is essentially the same as at the recent consensus at Talk:Alexander technique#Requested move 31 March 2025, which please see. Basically, we should not be deviating from Wikipedia's standard format of sentence case, simply because an alt-med topic has adopted a capitalized name as a way of puffing up their significance. -- Tryptofish (talk) 20:22, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So you only list it on one WikiProject, the Fringe Theory group? Thumb on scale much? Randy Kryn (talk) 10:04, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support per MOS:MVT which says "Doctrines, ideologies, philosophies, theologies, theories, movements, methods, processes, systems or schools of thought and practice, and fields of academic study or professional practice are not capitalized, unless the name derives from a proper name." and per book n-gram stats that show lowercase method is still very common even after WP spurred a bit of a trend toward capping it.

Oppose, this has been a proper name for five decades with 75% uppercasing in sources. Passes mvt for proper name status. The Feldenkrais Method is a well-known body work technique, and lowercased it would be changing the proper name to something almost unrecognizable given its status.

Support. To comply properly with the MOS. Bon courage (talk) 10:06, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
