Democratic Rationalization → Democratic rationalization – Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, so the article title should be downcased. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. I could find no instances of uppercase usage in a google ngram search. Tony (talk) 05:37, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article has no subject which I can determine, and so should not exist. That would resolve any titling issue. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 01:03, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. As long as this article does exist, and is specifically about Feenberg's phrase and concept (as opposed to being about his essay titled Democratic Rationalization: Technology, Power, and Freedom), the only question regarding the article title should be how Feenberg writes the phrase. And he does use lower-cased "democratic rationalization" in running text. Station1 (talk) 07:25, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you know enough about the topic to say what it in fact is, it would be very helpful to add that information to the article. That would be a large improvement over the current text. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 07:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I don't know enough about the topic to improve what's there in a meaningful way, but it appears to be about one academic's theory about how technology develops or progresses over time. Station1 (talk) 08:23, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
