Rivergate Mall → RiverGate Mall – The "G" in "RiverGate Mall" is capitalized on the mall's official website and on the mall's logo. BlueShirtz (talk) 03:08, 19 October 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. VR _talk 12:36, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

• @BlueShirtz and No such user: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:59, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
• BlueShirtz: See MOS:CAMELCASE – "RiverGate" seems to be a mere stylization, and unless it is consistently used in sources (which I doubt), we prefer the plain title case. No such user (talk) 08:48, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
• Weak oppose No clear preference for RiverGate over Rivergate. --Spekkios (talk) 23:06, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support, sufficient evidence that the "RiverGate" spelling is in wider use. Leasing info from the owners, news article, news article, news article. I have also found news articles as old as 2010 using the "RiverGate" spelling, which would suggest a long-standing precedent in favor of "RiverGate".

• What about [1][2][3]? Unless it's the wrong mall --Spekkios (talk) 23:25, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

• This is why I said "wider" use. Some sources don't use it, but my searches tended to favor the camelcase spelling far more often than not. Between the current owners using it, the usage in a 2010 news article, and the fact that the previous owners were camelcasing it in 2000, I think there's just enough to tilt the scales sufficiently in favor of the "RiverGate" spelling.

• Oppose: Some of the commenters above seem to be prioritizing self-published promotional sources over independent reliable sources, which is contrary to Wikipedia guidelines. If the independent reliable sources are mixed, the policies and guidelines (MOS:TM & WP:TITLETM) say that the version that most resembles ordinary English formatting should be used. "Rivergate" is much more natural than "RiverGate". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:26, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose – most sources seem to use Rivergate without the CamelCase. Per BarrelProof, that's what WP should do, too. Dicklyon (talk) 04:23, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
