Since we have an entry for the capitalised pronoun He for God, I suppose we ought to have Thee, Thou, Thy, You, etc. Equinox 17:55, 25 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

...and Him, His, Himself. See Talk:Him and Talk:His. He is sometimes capitalized when referring to God or another important figure, but so are, among other things, all the other pronouns: "Thy" (google books:"is Thy love, O God"), "Your" (google books:"is Your love, O God", "receive You in Holy Communion every day; grant me the power to help others, who do not know You or who have lost You, to find You in one of the temples of Your love" — Liguorian, 44, page 726), "My" ("My blessed daughter and son: I am grateful for the love and devotion that you have expressed and conveyed, pertaining to My Only Begotten Son (The Lord Jesus) and Me!" — Barbara Ann Mary Mack, The Present Testament Volume Three, 2011, →ISBN, etc. The capitalization follows a general (optional) rule of the language and isn't specific to these words; compare how one says "many cities have a mayor / water authority / etc", but when referring to a specific one a person can capitalize it as "there was a scheduling conflict and the Mayor could not attend the opening of the new Water Authority building", etc. - -sche (discuss) 17:49, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
