Democratic Rationalization → Democratic rationalization – Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, so the article title should be downcased. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. I could find no instances of uppercase usage in a google ngram search. Tony (talk) 05:37, 29 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Delete. The article has no subject which I can determine, and so should not exist. That would resolve any titling issue. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 01:03, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Support. As long as this article does exist, and is specifically about Feenberg's phrase and concept (as opposed to being about his essay titled Democratic Rationalization: Technology, Power, and Freedom), the only question regarding the article title should be how Feenberg writes the phrase. And he does use lower-cased "democratic rationalization" in running text. Station1 (talk) 07:25, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

If you know enough about the topic to say what it in fact is, it would be very helpful to add that information to the article. That would be a large improvement over the current text. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 07:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately I don't know enough about the topic to improve what's there in a meaningful way, but it appears to be about one academic's theory about how technology develops or progresses over time. Station1 (talk) 08:23, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
