I believe that this should be at Presiding Bishop (LDS Church) since it is a title that refers to a specific person rather than to a group of people. Additionally there is precedent for other titles to be used this way in naming articles (e.g. Prefecture of Police, see also Category:Ecclesiastical titles where some titles are init caps and others are sentence caps for the article title). -- Trödel 16:06, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey Jgstokes, does your reference book specify a specific date in 1995 for the start of Burton's tenure? I was looking at H. David Burton, and there it's listed as January 1 (1996), but I think that's because (according to the ensign article referenced there) it says the previous presiding bishop, Merrill J. Bateman, started his tenure as BYU president on that date. It's unlikely that a new presiding bishop wasn't set apart until that date, though, so I think it's right that Burton became presiding bishop in 1995, I just thought we should update the exact date there.

I ran across Vinson Knight for a reason unrelated to this page, but noticed that his page discusses that he may have also possible been the 1st Presiding Bishop (before the official title). The problem is I am not well versed in this topic, so I'm not sure how accurate this clam is. Does anyone know? If he was, perhaps a mention here is in order.-- ARTEST4ECHO ( talk/ contribs) 13:16, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

141. I think that it is clear that there was the possibility that Vinson Knight was Presiding Bishop. I think the sentence on his page is accurate, but need to be made to work here.
Turns out my memory was playing tricks on me. The Church Almanac does not make any mention of Vinson Knight as Presiding Bishop. I have read the cited scripture, and I think this does need to be included in the article, perhaps as outlined above. I would have no objections to the current proposed wording. -- Jgstokes ( talk) 21:34, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
