Question You/She/He started with a capital

Is it correct to start You, He, She, etc., with a capital letter, provided that it does not begin the sentence? In some languages it is a polite form, and what about in English?

Best,
Nyggus

No. When talking about God, Jesus, etc, you will see some using 'He', but that's about it. Sometimes in adverts, you will see captials being used, but it's not a general pattern.
