Which is it?

Is it "ComSubLant" or "COMSUBLANT". The title shows it one way and the article body shows it another, without explanation. — Quicksilver^{T @} 02:04, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Navy sources seem to consistently use COMSUBLANT. I think it should be moved to that title. Ditto ComSubPac. 72.200.151.13 (talk) 18:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 11 September 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. No opposition to the proposed title, but no prejudice against a future RM discussing whether the title should be given in full as a few people were OK with. Jenks24 (talk) 13:19, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ComSubLant → COMSUBLANT – Official capitalization, which is already in primary use throughout the article. – 72.200.151.13 (talk) 04:50, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@72.200.151.13: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:03, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But it is not an acronym. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:03, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It is. COMmander, SUBmarine Force AtLANTic 72.200.151.13 (talk) 05:47, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If our concern was encyclopedic presentation of usage then the Ngrams suggest support. Greg Kaye 06:52, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Having said that the ComSubPac,COMSUBPAC related ngrams seem to swing the other way. Greg Kaye 06:55, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think having two different ways of capitalizing the titles is unacceptable, and I believe we should go with the official capitalization for the article names.

Support It's not an acronym, it's an initialism. It's also the one the USN has been using for decades. WP should, too. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 06:30, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
