Ben Nevis distillery → Ben Nevis Distillery – This move was rejected as a WP:RMUM because the UM took place too long ago, so here's the full RM reasoning:
- This is a MOS:PROPER: it seems to be the brand and trading name used by the company and the registered name of the company
- It's by far the WP:COMMONNAME: used in the cited sources on this page (whisky.com and Glasgow Herald) and all the search results I can find.
- Ben Nevis Distillery was the original name – it was moved in 2012 with the edit summary "capistalisation" – this was almost certainly as part of an attempt to make Category:Distilleries in Scotland follow a bespoke pre-emptive disambiguation convention in which a lower case "distillery" is shoehorned onto every article name, regardless of what the common name is or whether 'Distillery' is part of the proper name. But that convention was rejected in 2012 in a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spirits/Archive 2#Distillery naming conventions, and again earlier this year in a RM at Talk:Glenfiddich -- so it's time to clean up this category and return the articles to their common names!
