Wei (band) → WEi – The current page title does not adhere to naming conventions as outlined by MOS:TM. Article titles are meant to reflect "styles already in use by independent reliable sources." Additionally, Wikipedia does not exist to modify every form of unusual stylization to confirm to rules of the English language: "Do not invent new styles that are not used by independent reliable sources.". The current title violates this guidance. Reliable sources have seemingly never used "Wei" when referring to this group, they have used "WEi". This is demonstrated by an array of high-end English-language sources which include Rolling Stone India [1], The Korea Herald [2], The Korea Times [3], ABS-CBN [4], Korea JoongAng Daily [5], Yonhap News Agency [6], The Star [7], Forbes [8], Hindustan Times [9], Manila Bulletin [10], and so on. MOS:TMRULES specifically states: When a name is almost never written except in a particular stylized form, use that form on Wikipedia: Deadmau5, 3M, 2 Fast 2 Furious". This is clearly one of those cases and we should be using WEi as the title. ✗plicit 14:51, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose confusing, but no objection to WEi (band) In ictu oculi (talk) 15:53, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

@In ictu oculi: What is confusing? Also, per WP:SMALLDETAILS, there is no need for the disambiguation. Tthe hatnote {{Other uses|Wei (disambiguation)}} could be added atop the article. ✗plicit 23:40, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
