– There's no reason why omnium should be capitalised in these page names. The term itself is not a proper noun (unlike Madison (cycling), which is named after Madison Square Garden (1879)). The equivalent race for the Sprint (track cycling) also uses lower case, e.g. Cycling at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's sprint. If this move proposal proves uncontroversial, I will also move the Olympic Keirin events to lower case as that term is also not a proper noun. Schwede 66 20:23, 14 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

I've been fairly confused about which of omnium, keirin, and Madison (is that right, now?) are proper nouns as I've seen all three capitalized and all three not capitalized, so this may be somewhat my fault. Happy with whichever capitalization that you think is right. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 21:16, 14 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

It's not about pointing a finger; it's about getting this right. From what I can see, the capitalisation in your edit above is correct. If it isn't correct, it needs sorting out in the respective target articles. I assume that the target articles have got it correct in their current forms. Schwede 66 23:49, 14 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support all per nom. Omnium is not a proper noun. Madison def. is, and I always thought keirin was too, but appears not to be the case! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:23, 15 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
