The words capitalized in titles of works of art (books, paintings, etc.) are: proper nouns (names, cities) the initial word of the title and: if this initial word is a definite article (le, la, les, l'), both the article and its noun (and any modifier between the article and the noun) are capitalized (e.g. Le Grand Meaulnes; La Grande Illusion)
French proper adjectives, like many other French adjectives, can equally well function as nouns; however, proper adjectives are not capitalized. A word denoting a nationality will be capitalized if used as a noun to mean a person (un Français "a Frenchman"), but not if used as an adjective (un médecin français "a French doctor") or as a noun ...
The French indefinite article is analogous to the English indefinite article a/an. Like a/an, the French indefinite article is used with a noun referring to a non-specific item, or to a specific item when the speaker and audience do not both know what the item is; so, « J'ai cassé une chaise rouge » ("I broke a red chair").

Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization.In English, capitalization is primarily needed for proper names, acronyms, and for the first letter of a sentence.

Delete everything before "like". That gives you the phrases "like a dude" and "like you do". In "like a dude", there is a noun after "like"; in "like you do", there is a noun and verb. A noun and a verb is a clause. Therefore, "like" in "like you do" has "like" plus a clause.
President Donald Trump has an unusual writing style that has caught the attention of linguists and writing experts.
Wikipedia uses the same capitalization style throughout. Article titles and section headings both use the “sentence case” style, so only the first word and proper nouns get capitalized, just like a normal sentence. Wikinews uses the same style for its headlines. I see no reason to single out bulletted lists for a different style.
