How should [[Dual naming|dualled place names]] generally be presented in an articles lede and infobox, when the dual name is not the common name?
:'''A''': As at [[Uluru]] - Both individual names and dual name in the lede as [[WP:ALTNAMES]], with the title as the leading name. Both individual names in infobox.

The RFC is held at this central location as it affects articles about places in Australia, France, New Zealand, and Switzerland, but it is not intended to alter the MOS.

{{rfcquote|text=
The names of two buildings, the South Houses and North Houses, have been capitalized in this article since it was created in 2005. There have recently been discussions and edits proposing that these terms should be lowercase. The disagreement arises from whether these building names are proper nouns, and whether the sources using capitals constitute a "substantial majority".
According to [[MOS:CAPS]], "In English, [[Proper noun|proper names]], which can be either single words or phrases, are typically capitalized," and "Wikipedia relies on sources to determine what is conventionally capitalized; only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Wikipedia." This RfC applies to this article as well as the related articles [[History of the Caltech house system]], [[Campus of the California Institute of Technology]], and [[California Institute of Technology]].
