Do we need upper-case Dive next to dive?  --Lambiam 12:18, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
If the term exists and is attestable, yes. Pretty much like there're God and god. --Cory Jewed (talk) 12:43, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
We classify Deus as a proper noun. Should we then also have Divus as a proper noun?  --Lambiam 07:40, 1 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
If the term - refering to the God - exists and is attestable, yes. Pretty much like there're God (proper noun) and god (common noun). --Cory Jewed (talk) 17:50, 1 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
By that rule Eternal is also a proper noun ([1], [2], [3]).  --Lambiam 06:03, 3 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
