These are always capitalized. See Terminal Aeronautical Chart. Also known as "Terminal Aeronautical Chart", but the more common name is "Terminal Area Chart". 199.125.109.104 (talk) 23:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move back to capitilized proper noun as this is the most common usage. — Dhaluza (talk) 00:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'll take that as a support vote. 199.125.109.104 (talk) 23:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Sectional chart also needs to be moved back to Sectional Chart. It was incorrectly moved 02:31, 13 December 2006 by User:Lupinelawyer (moved Sectional Chart to Sectional chart: standardized capitalization of nouns) 199.125.109.104 (talk) 00:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a proper noun. You can add it as an example to WP:Caps if you like. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 19:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's more than one terminal area chart, so it's not a proper noun according to my dictionary (OED): "a noun that designates an individual person, place, organization, animal, ship, etc., and is usually written with an initial capital letter". Sam Staton (talk) 19:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's more than one Sam, or Nancy, or Susan. That doesn't make them not proper nouns. Each TAC is very much a proper noun. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 20:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just noticed this capitalization convention is also used at Globally Unique Identifier (GUID, also not a proper noun), although Graphical user interface (GUI) uses lower case. Not sure if the GUID page is "wrong"? ... Sam Staton (talk) 20:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Check common usage. Both seem to be split down the middle Globally Unique Identifier/Graphical User Interface and globally unique identifier/graphical user interface. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 20:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
