The result of the proposal was move per request. Agreed that this is a borderline technical request given WP:NCFAUNA, the large-scale discussion and move of bird article titles to lowercase last year and the many discussions of breed articles like those below since then.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 18:53, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
– Consistency with the other animal breed articles, including the other pigeon ones: We're capitalizing the formal breed name (see list here and similar sources), not the species that follows it, which is simply a natural disambiguation (sources that capitalize it seem to do so only as a matter of title case in headings, or are bloggy and unreliable). This is a routine move for consistency with the other poultry articles, e.g. African goose, Alsatian goose, Chinese goose, Emden goose, Pomeranian goose, Scania goose, Toulouse goose, Vištinės goose; and Australian Game fowl, Phoenix chicken, Jersey Buff turkey, etc., etc.; and consistent with Siamese cat, Abaza goat, English Leicester sheep, Kasaragod Dwarf cattle, and hundreds of other animal breed articles. Pretty much all the other animal breed articles were cleaned up in 2014, these are just some stragglers.

does not support multiple articles. I generally do not make moves like this manually because of previous
WP:DRAMA about doing so, but the prior RMs have been very consistent in favoring the type of move proposed here.— SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 13:44, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
