Cambridgeshire Lodes → Cambridgeshire lodes – 'Lode' is a common noun which does not need a capital letter. The article does not capitalise 'lode' unless it is part of the name of a specific lode.

- Oppose. Soham Lode and similar are correctly marked with a capital L. This is at best a line call. The lack of capitalisation on lode when it stands alone in running text is irrelevant. Andrewa (talk) 00:32, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Soham Lode and similar have a capital L because 'Lode' is part of their name, in the same way that the Hudson River and the Panama Canal have capital letters. A closer parallel is List of rivers of England, and all the similar lists in Lists of rivers. Verbcatcher (talk) 10:07, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Some of this is correct. But Lodes is also part of the name of the Cambridge Lodes, is it not?
- There is only one Cambridgeshire Lodes. This is made clear by the capital L. That is its meaning here.
- If we were to create a List of lodes in Cambridgeshire, that would indeed have a small l. Andrewa (talk) 22:10, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

- I am beginning to come closer to your view, partly by comparison with the Norfolk Broads, which I would capitalise. As I see it, the issue is whether these lodes are a specific network or group. I had concluded they are simply lodes that happen to be in Cambridgeshire, and this was a convenient grouping for a Wikipedia article.
- Unfortunately, most of the cited sources are not available online. The 'Ely Ouse Lodes Strategy Study' is available online,[1] and uses a capital L for 'Ely Ouse Lodes'. The lodes discussed in that source seem to the same set as we cover, and that might be a better name for this article. Verbcatcher (talk) 08:51, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
