– These don't look like proper nouns to me, and looking through Google Scholar I would estimate they are capitalised only 50% of the time, if not less. Therefore these titles should be decapitalised per WP:CAPS: "Do not capitalize the second or subsequent words in a title, unless the title is a proper noun. For multiword page titles, one should leave the second and subsequent words in lowercase unless the title phrase is a proper noun that would always occur capitalized, even in the middle of a sentence."

I don't think we should move them, as the terms the articles are about are the formal status names of the IUCN Red List and other lists, which are capitalised—not quite some general concepts. (With the exception of "extinct in the wild"). —innotata 18:54, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Innotata, those terms are defined by IUCN, and capitalized in IUCN documents as in the first form of each term above, except when they are given in all caps. I think that does make them proper nouns, as the names of specific categories. -- Donald Albury 19:42, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Innotata as well. We should not move these.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Donlammers (talk • contribs)
