I will also be capitalizing all three words in the title since this is the practice followed in the article and in most mentions of the phrase online that I found through a google search. It is also the practice followed by WADA which is where the phrase originated from I believe.--

Requested move 1 September 2022

requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Can you clarify what part of
MOS:CAPS you have doubts about? What about points mentioned on talk page regarding results of google search and convention used by organization that originated the term?--

Specifically I'm not sure whether it is "consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources [emphasis in original]". We have to be wary of relying solely on "official" usage or exclusively usage in specialized sources lest we fall into the
specialized-style fallacy. So I'd be more comfortable if this was reviewed by multiple editors through an RM process before being moved.

It looks like the sort of thing we would be very reluctant to capitalize on Wikipedia. It's definitely not a proper noun and looks like
WP:SIGCAPS to me. A proper discussion is needed. —

Oppose: This is not a proper noun. The proposal seems to be a clear case of
WP:SIGCAPS – i.e. capitalization as a way of trying to indicate that a term is special or official in some way. It is also not consistently capitalized that way in independent reliable sources, per a scan of scholarly works in
Google Scholar. Wikipedia policies and guidelines say to use lowercase in such instances. However, I support moving it to singular form per
WP:SINGULAR. —
