Forum:Is "smasher" a regular noun or a proper noun?

Should the word "smasher" be written with a capital "S", or a lowercase one? The article Smasher uses lowercase, but I've seen it with an uppercase S in a bunch of other places. Personally I think it makes more sense to use a lowercase "s", since most words of similar application (like builder, driver, player) are not treated like proper nouns. However, "Smash Bros." and its variants are always written in capitals. Is there a consensus? Mako Shark (talk) 11:15, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Smash Bros. is the title of a game, so it should always be capitalised. Though I agree that smashers should use a lowercase "s". Omega Tyrant 11:16, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

+1. Smasher is not a proper noun. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 13:04, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
