NCSOFT → NCsoft – According to MOS:CAMELCASE, title of this article should not be all caps. NCsoft is the next popular capitalization found on the Internet. Voidvector (talk) 07:43, 1 January 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 11:56, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MXM defunct

I saw on the Master X Master page that the servers are closing down today. Someone should update this article to move MXM to "Cancelled" since the game is no longer active. 72.197.9.171 (talk) 08:42, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NCsoft → NCSOFT – Reversal of previous RM. The referenced guideline was MOS:CAMELCASE but I do not think that was the most applicable guideline since "ncsoft" does not consist of complete words, but rather an initialism ("NC") followed by an abbreviation ("soft", presumably for software). Therefore there is no "standard English" representation of this mark. Instead, I believe the guideline that should apply is MOS:ACRO, which covers initialisms and abbreviations. It is also preferable IMO to avoid the ambiguity of what the "proper" camelcase would be (e.g. "NCsoft" or "NCSoft"), as in either case Wikipedia is basically inventing the convention.

As an aside, it was not specified how the original requester determined that one was more popular than the other, but for example these recent articles[1][2] use "NCSoft". The very definition of camel case would also imply that "Soft" should begin with a capital as it is the start of a word unit. If "NCSOFT" is still considered improper, then also consider "NCSoft" as a preferable alternative.

Support move to NCSoft. As stated in the last RM (in which I was a participant), the name "NCSOFT" would violate MOS:TMRULES. Given that reliable sources use "NCSoft" as you stated, it seems like the best option. ONR (talk) 03:01, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Move to NCSoft, as that seems more like ordinary English and is used in some independent reliable sources. Oppose NCSOFT, since that is less like English and clearly a vanity all-caps styling. —BarrelProof (talk) 00:54, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
