'Novels' need not be capitalized. The name should be Waverly novels.- Gilliam ( talk) 02:17, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
No, the name should be Waverley novels . -- Mabzilla ( talk) 18:35, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Are any of Scott's novels besides the Tales of my Landlord series not considered Waverley? If so, it would be appropriate to list them or provide a wikilink to a list. D A Patriarche, BSc 07:32, 24 March 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by D A Patriarche ( talk • contribs)

Waverley Novels →
Waverley novels – The word "novels" is just a descriptive term, not a proper name. The phrase "Waverley novels" is not consistently capitalised in a substantial majority of sources (see n-gram
[1], which actually shows more capitalisation than it should because it doesn't do anything to exclude use in title-case titles/headings/headlines). Move also per
WP:CONSISTENT to agree with, e.g.,
Palliser novels,
The Merchanter novels,
Santangelo novels,
The Chanur novels,
Deryni novels,
The Bolitho novels,
Being Human novels,
Dungeons & Dragons novels,
List of Charmed novels and short stories,
List of Angel novels,
List of Star Trek novels,
List of Monogatari novels,
List of Buffyverse novels,
List of Star Trek: Enterprise novels, etc., etc. This move was proposed (above) back in 2014, but no one actually listed it at RM. —

PS: I did find a handful of other cases of this over-capitalisation, but each case should probably be taken on its own: Neapolitan Novels, The Courtney Novels, Galaxy Science Fiction Novels, The Paradise Novels, Pacesetter Novels; that seems to be all of them. And Aubrey–Maturin series should probably be moved to Aubrey–Maturin novels for consistency with the "Foo novels" pattern. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 00:59, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
