Oppose. They are different concepts. For business casual a dress shirt is usually required, but often no jacket; for smart casual a jacket is usually required, but often no dress shirt. --

From where did you get that assertion? (Please note that I am the same user as the nominator above but with new username).

Thanks. Are we ready to establish that business casual is just a corporate buzzword for
smart casual? And even if it wasn't, interpretations of the both overlap to a degree and with borders so vague that having two articles still doesn't make sense anyway? Compare that the article
suit includes the asserted notion of "business suit". (Please note that I am the same user as the nominator above but with new username).

Comment: If we count with the support of
Berserk798 at the previous merge discussion location at
Talk:Smart casual, then we are three who support and one who opposes. I therefore intend to go forward with this merge if no stronger arguments against are presented.

Oppose: I agree with KOH that I believe these are different concepts. It is the nominator's opinion that they are the same topic and no
WP:RS has been brought forward to even back up this opinion, and certainly not carry this proposal.

Oppose merge; many of the articles on the current
Smart casual page use smart casual in their titles as the primary topic; many of the articles on the current
Business casual page use business casual in their titles as the primary topic; in the absence of evidence to the contrary this establishes two independently notable topics, so it is reasonable to keep them separate.

capitalization
I'm seeking input from other editors because @
MeadeIndeed chose to
revert my edit of capitalization. I made this edit after reviewing the target article, which not does not use capitalization of "casual," perhaps because it's not capitalized in
this cited source. ~

I am a bit unsure of this myself, however, on the
Casual Friday Wikipedia page it is mostly written as "Casual Friday" except in one place which could be an overlooked spelling mistake. Another reason why I believe that it is capitalized is because it originated from "Aloha Friday" which I can only find written as such.
As it is a workplace "event", I believe capitalization in this case is correct. I've tried to look around to find a "definitive" guide how it should be spelled but haven't been able to find an anything.
