Based on the more authoritative sources in this article (government websites, exam boards, etc.), the term 'A Level' should not be hyphenated. I have tried to move the page myself but have been unsuccessful, can anyone help me with this? PentagonPizza (talk) 16:49, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How is this a matter of WP:ENGVAR? The article title isn't in sentence case, which is already an issue, and there's no evidence to suggest that the proposed title is a matter of national English variants. :3 F4U (they/it) 21:22, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea how ENGVAR comes into play. Americans rarely talk about A-levels at all, and I don't claim to know if other non-UK countries capitalize it differently. Walt Yoder (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the proposed title scans as if it is referring to "a level" in a video game. From Google search results, there seems to be a wide spread of usage, with A-level and A Level the most common. Walt Yoder (talk) 03:12, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I actually do understand the potential for confusion with a "level". Maybe "A-level" is the best title here then, since that would put it in sentence case and minimize potential for confusion. :3 F4U (they/it) 22:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps, but an ngram assessing all the options suggests that A-level is by some distance yhe most common across all books.[2] — Amakuru (talk) 17:46, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
