[[Extreme Programming]] → {{no redirect|1=Extreme programming}} –

Per [[WP:CAPS]] ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and [[WP:TITLE]], this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles.

::Good point. That one is an IBM trademark, and very hard to find lowercase in sources, unlike "extreme programming". [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 17:05, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Line 121:

*'''Support''' – "almost always" would be enough, if it were true, to convince us that it's a proper name; but it's not. Many sources use lower case; especially when you get away from the primary sources that are promoting the concept. In recent years, the generic lowercase may even be in the majority. See [http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=in+Extreme+Programming%2Cin+extreme+programming&year_start=1995&year_end=2008&corpus=0&smoothing=0 n-grams] and [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22in%20Extreme%20Programming%22&tbs=bks:1&lr=lang_en#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&lr=lang_en&tbs=lr:lang_1en&tbm=bks&source=hp&q=%22in+Extreme+Programming%22+-intitle%3A%22Extreme+Programming%22&pbx=1&oq=%22in+Extreme+Programming%22+-intitle:%22Extreme+Programming%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=1&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=17198l18172l0l18908l3l3l0l0l0l1l694l1715l3-1.0.2l3l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=b6878b6a2b661426&biw=1381&bih=779 books that don't have "Extreme Programming" in their titles].

::Note: it's a methodology, not a piece of named software. That should settle it.
