Zoot Suit Riots → Zoot suit riots – Capitalization of "zoot" and "riots" is unnecessary as seen in 1992 Los Angeles riots and Watts riots. DCAllStar (talk) 13:21, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Note: WikiProject California/Los Angeles area task force has been notified of this discussion. DCAllStar (talk) 13:22, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Technically, the proposal should be to Zoot suit riots, as "zoot suit" is not a proper noun so only the first word in the title should be capitalized. Anyway, oppose move. A search of google books, newspapers.com, and academic journal papers (via Wikipedia library) shows a consistent capitalization of all three words when referring to the group of incidents.

- Oppose. Seems this is consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of sources per Schazjmd and my own Google search and Ngram. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 01:55, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
