– These are a random sample of about 5000 page titles with over-capitalized sub-event subtitles, all of which are included by extension. To make tennis events internally consistent, and consistent with other sports (e.g. table tennis, badminton, bowls, etc.), and consistent with title and style guidelines, these subtitles should be changed from title case to sentence case, since things like "men's singles" and "women's doubles" are overwhelmingly more often lowercase in sources, in sentence context (most capped uses are in title and heading contexts).

Background
- WT:WikiProject Tennis#Are "Men's Singles" and "Women's Doubles", etc., proper names? – most recent discussion, showing support at project level.
- WT:AT#RFC on dash-separated titles for sports events – recent RFC at which this was viewed as the minimal fix needed by most.
- Talk:The Championships, Wimbledon#Requested move 2 November 2021 – RM precedent for fixing tennis event titles to sentence case after dash.
- User:Dicklyon/Singles to fix and User:Dicklyon/Doubles to fix – draft lists of moves as formatted for WP:RMTR; not finalized.
Discussion and polling
- Question. Why would the first word after the dash be capitalized but not the rest? It seems like it should be "Men's Doubles" if it's a part of a proper noun, like the first part of the title, or "men's doubles" if it's just a descriptive phrase we've added.

- Support full lower-casing of the part that is not a proper name, e.g. "1912 World Hard Court Championships – mixed doubles". Otherwise, support the proposal as-written, as second choice. More lower-casing is better per WP:NCCAPS, MOS:CAPS, MOS:DASH. There is no reason for capitalization after a dash, and WP uses sentence-case titles (do not capitalize anything that is not a proper name). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:07, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Support as originally proposed. A new "standard" for such articles was determined by the recent Wimbledon RM, and we should stick to that. Effectively this is a two-part title, with the first part being the tournament "1912 World Hard Court Championships" and the second part being the individual competition "Mixed doubles". — Amakuru (talk) 23:11, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
