The word "fault" in the title should not be capitalized according to WP:NAME and in agreement with these sources:

We should shortly move the article to Altyn Tagh fault on the assumption this is not controversial.

I think require is a bit strong, I could list a dozen paper using 'Fault' easily, but agree that 'fault' is used more often, so I have no objection to the move. Mikenorton (talk) 08:35, 17 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Don't make me go rename all those other articles you've written! LOL. (The redirect from the capitalized form, Altyn Tagh Fault still exists, so I didn't think this was controversial.)
