Iranian Reformists → Iranian reformists – Per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:DOCTCAPS. Obvious preference for lowercase in RS sources. See related discussion at Talk:Iranian Principlists. I don't oppose other versions such as "reformists (Iran)" or "reformism (Iran)". (t · c) buidhe 05:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Dicklyon (talk) 15:56, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support per WP:NCCAPS, MOS:CAPS. This is overwhelmingly lowercase in sources (e.g., over 90% lowercase in in Google Scholar results [1]). The capitalized form is so rare it doesn't even rate in ngrams [2][3], with the exception of the phrase "Reformism in Iran"[4], but even in that case, the ngram does nothing to exclude title-case titles and headings, and the capitalization is still not dominant anyway. Efforts to ngram phrases that exclude title-case uses of that term produce too few matches to plot [5], which suggests that the term is too uncommon to be treated as a proper name in the first place, and is simply a descriptive phrase. Per MOS:DOCTCAPS in particular, WP does not capitalize political "camps", factions, movements, etc.; this is not a political party capitalized as a proper name across nearly all the source material. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 16:39, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support—It's plural, so not a proper name. Tony (talk) 02:37, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Move to Reformists (Iranian faction) or Reformists (Iran) or similar. It seems like "Iranian" is only a disambiguator here. (Otherwise would support the lowercase suggestion per SMcCandlish and MOS:DOCTCAPS.) — BarrelProof (talk) 21:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
Article needs to be Updated
editThe sources seem to be mostly from 2017 and most bodies have had new elections since then AlexBobCharles (talk) 17:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
A 2024 Iranian Presidential Election Section should be added.
editThe article now states that the Iranian reformists won the 2024 election, but does not have a section currently. KyrbsMcWyrbs (talk) 21:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
