Circuit judge (UK) → Circuit Judge –

This is a disambiguation page, and should be labelled as such. The UK seems to be the only jurisdiction that officially terms judges Circuit Judges, so Circuit Judges should link to the UK page, and this should be renamed Circuit Judge (disambiguation). Doing it the other way around, as it presently is, is US-centric.Gymnophoria (talk) 16:23, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The judges of the United States courts of appeals are also called "Circuit Judge". The current title is neutral and the implied claim that the U.K. usage meets the standards of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is entirely unsupported. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:51, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with Russ. Also, per WP:CAPS, Do not capitalize the second or subsequent words in an article title, unless the title is a proper noun. Circuit Judge John Doe is Doe's formal title, capitalized, but a generic circuit judge isn't capitalized.
