AKBingo! → AKBINGO! – The correct show title is in all caps, as per the official website (http://www.ntv.co.jp/AKBINGO/). Both NOGIBINGO! and KEYABINGO! (spin-off shows) were improperly capitalized, so I've already fixed them, but somehow AKBINGO refuses to be Moved. Please fix the page title, thanks. Trialeditor (talk) 14:41, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:30, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose - it's standard to overcapitalize English letters in Japanese sources as part of Japanese text. But this article is written in English and should follow en.Wikipedia use of caps. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:09, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - If overcapitalization is a problem, why is "AKB" capitalized and "ingo" in lower case? By your logic, the title should be "Akbingo!" Trialeditor (talk) 13:33, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose - simply a stylisation, and shouldn't be used. The other pages should be reverted to their former names, too. TheKaphox T 18:25, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - Other related pages such as AKB48 and SKE48 are in all caps as well. Should those be changed to "Akb48" and "Ske48"? Trialeditor (talk) 13:33, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- AKB is the acronym for the group so it isn't a word, whereas Bingo is a word. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:17, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Trialeditor, In ictu oculi, and TheKaphox: contested move Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:30, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose existing title is sufficient. MOS:ALLCAPS AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:50, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose: The long-established guidelines at MOS:ALLCAPS are pretty clear on this. --DAJF (talk) 12:25, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - Again, other AKB-related pages all go against the internal Wikipedia rules as well, simply because it makes it easier to read (which is the entire purpose of avoiding overcapitalization).
It's easier to recognize the word "BINGO" in "AKBINGO" than in "AKBingo" (which also looks a bit like "AKBing").Trialeditor (talk) 13:33, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- Others can be fixed as well to conform to MOS. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:17, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose All caps title can be added as a note in the lead section as per MOS:TM/STYLE. (e.g. Radwimps) The other two pages should be restored to its original name. Cutebassa (talk) 09:56, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
