- We usually have a space, why should we have a different practice for this bio? In ictu oculi (talk) 11:40, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say that is common to do so, there are plenty of pages without the space. Hence, we should go with WP:COMMONNAME: The one source that is in the article says "J.T.", a quick Google search also gives mostly "JT" or "J.T.", but almost never "J. T."; this includes reliable secondary as well as primary sources. Lordtobi (✉) 12:58, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose the weird styling. Not related to WP:COMMONNAME, which is not a styling guideline. Dicklyon (talk) 03:43, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
