![]() | On 16 August 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Lex Agraria to Lex agraria. The result of the discussion was moved. |
Given that a lex Agraria was a type of law rather than a specific one, it seems as though this article needs to be reformatted (perhaps to a list given the number of agrarian laws there are over the late Republic?). I'd be happy to do this but thought I'd check before I change the article completely. Thoughts? and thanks, LarciusFlavus ( talk) 16:22, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
Yup I think so too, this article is almost exclusively about the Lex Sempronia Agraria,how about we move this article to Lex Sempronia Agraria and create a new one called Lex Agraria? I personally don't think there is a need to have an article on a specific type of Roman law though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lerong Lin ( talk • contribs) 09:59, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
@ Rotideypoc41352: Re the hatnote you just added. There are many leges agrariae. The most famous of which is definitely the Sempronian one in 133 BC. Perhaps a disambiguation page might be worthwhile. Ifly6 ( talk) 03:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Lex Agraria → Lex agraria – MOS:CAPS. Note also that lex agraria is most commonly decapitalised in scholarly works. Ifly6 ( talk) 15:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request ( permalink). Ifly6 ( talk) 15:56, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
The standard in MOS:CAPS is not that there exist some amount of capitalisation of Agraria, but rather that it is consistently capitalised in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources
. Not only is this standard of review is not met, the majority of sources since 1950 returned on a
search of Google Scholar note a lack of capitalisation:
lex agraria
Lex agraria
Lex agraria
lex agraria
lex agraria
Lex agraria
Lex agraria
lex agraria
lex agraria
lex agraria
lex agraria
lex agraria
lex agraria
Lex agraria
lex agraria
I only look at the first four pages, remove all sources not in English, and duplicates. My definition of "reliable source" is anything which is published by a university press or is in a peer reviewed journal.
I count three (3) capitalised Agraria to fifteen (15) agraria
(16.6 pc capitalised). Agraria is not consistently capitalised in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources
.
