RAS → Ras – WP:DABNAME – Uanfala (talk) 23:53, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

• @Uanfala:. The guidance doesn't necessarily apply here because nearly all entries are acronyms, not words. Calidum 00:20, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

  I see your point and I wouldn't normally have such a page moved if it consisted overwhelmingly in acronyms, although the guideline doesn't make provisions for that and its wording implies that if there are any lower-case entries, the title would be lower-case as well. And here, the acronyms make up barely two thirds of the total. Btw, pings from inside templates like the RM one you've used (or the relist ones used on XfDs) don't work. – Uanfala (talk) 00:52, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

• Support 30-40% of entries are ras. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:16, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support per WP:DABNAME "A word is preferred to an abbreviation, for example Arm (disambiguation) over ARM". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:38, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
