**You may have missed some of the recent discussions, which have been somewhat numerous but do have a consensus outcome that is reflected in the guideline at [[MOS:JOBTITLES]]. Yes, we would capitalise [[Lord Mayor of London]], [[Earl of Essex]], and [[King of England]], but this is different because this is about the ''plural'' – the ''entire set'' of people who have held a title. I can provide explicit pointers to many of those recent discussions, but I hope that the most directly relevant one will suffice – please see the recent RM at '''[[Talk:List of lord mayors of London]]''' (and note that it is using lowercase). The discussion in that RM also contains references to many similar RMs with consistent outcomes. A formal title is capitalised as a [[proper noun]] when in the ''singular'' form as a formal title held by only one person (as in the article title [[Lord Mayor of London]]). In the plural, it is describing a group of people, not a single person, so it is not a proper noun in that form and should not be capitalised. The singular/plural distinction is explicitly discussed in [[MOS:JOBTITLES]]. Surely the category [[:Category:Lord Mayors of London]] should be consistent with the corresponding list [[List of lord mayors of London]]. —[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 18:20, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

*'''Speedy close suggested''', as this proposal meets the speedy criterion [[WP:C2D]] for the corresponding [[List of lord mayors of London]]. Please also see the corresponding recent RM discussion at [[Talk:List of lord mayors of London]]. —[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 20:40, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
