Lost and Found (disambiguation) → Lost and Found – There are 95 entries listed upon the Lost and Found (disambiguation) page, all of which, with one exception, use uppercase "F". Thus, there is no need for the parenthetical qualifier "(disambiguation)" and users researching the workings of lost property/lost and found offices who might type uppercase "Found", will continue to find the lowercase form listed at top of the entries upon the dab page. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:08, 2 April 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 22:54, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Support: Clearly most use the uppercase "F". Simple, let's do it. SchreiberBike | ⌨  20:20, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose. Clear primary redirect. Changing it is not in any way helping our users, which is the sole purpose of article titling. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:47, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
• Support Clear case of WP:DIFFCAPS. "Lost and found" the place is not written as a proper noun, just like "train station" or "elementary school" isn't either. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:27, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose, justified primary redirect. 162 etc. (talk) 01:44, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
• Comment. It may be also noted that other examples of uppercase main title headers, such as Cigarette Girl, Dust Bunny, Escape Velocity, Friendly Fire, Home Improvement, Hot Ice, Iron Maiden, Police Academy, Red Meat, Saddle Tramp, Total War, Union Station or Witch Doctor, all of which are titles of books, films, TV series, songs, albums, etc, are not redirects to the lowercase forms cigarette girl, dust bunny, escape velocity, friendly fire, home improvement, hot ice, iron maiden, police academy, red meat, saddle tramp, total war, union station or witch doctor.

There are few, if any, lowercase forms, such as lost and found which force the uppercase form, such as Lost and Found, to adopt the parenthetical qualifier "(disambiguation)" instead of simply listing lost and found as the top entry on the Lost and Found dab page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:15, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
