:This is just me making an educated guess, but I believe the "Great" in "Alexander the Great" is to put emphasis on the word "Great". "I am Great." Much like the "Trouble with a capital T" came about, or how [[wikipedia:God|God]] is capitalized. So perhaps "Paper Girl" is to put emphasis that Nancy was a newspaper delivery girl and not some random townie? --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 02:36, August 30, 2015 (UTC)

It appears as though a consensus did form here in favor of some standard. However, what is less clear is whether that standard should be towards "capitalized by default" or "lowercase by default." On top of that, there are specific circumstances under which it would make sense to deviate from the default. So first, I think we should decide whether we want to capitalize by default, or not.
My own viewpoint is that we should use lowercase by default. There would be exceptions to this, but I think the majority of examples should not be capitalized. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 02:53, January 15, 2016 (UTC)
