– More proper formatting for these titles. In such a context, a colon would ordinarily be followed by a space, and a "--" should be an en dash per MOS:DASH. Also adjusting capitalization (to consistently apply title case) and the punctuation of Class B and the phrasing of classes E, F, M and Z (to better match the source). See the Library of Congress outline. The use of full stops in the titles is idiosyncratic, but I suggesting to follow what the source does for that at the moment. I could be persuaded to use sentence case, but the existing titles are neither consistently using title case or sentence case (and also don't seem to be from the source, which is using all-caps). Capitalizing "Etc." seems a bit odd, but MOS:CT says to capitalize the last word. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:47, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

• Delete this entire series of articles as inherently against WP:NOTCATALOG, rendering how to format their titles moot. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:58, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

  This is not an article deletion discussion. There's a different process for that. This is a discussion of what titles these articles should have if they are not deleted (or merged). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:20, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

• Merge into one Library of Congress classifications or something like that. I agree with Pppery that these are not separately notable, but the overall system probably is, and one could say more about it. But generally support style fixes within a merged article.

  • Library of Congress Classification already exists. Merging these in would create an article that was far too long. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:40, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

    With zero independent sources I would agree that the subclassification articles (at least in their current form) are not encyclopedic and should just be redirected. (t · c) buidhe 00:44, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
