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)[reply]

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

@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)[reply]

Paragraph division request 7 March 2025

Hi everyone, I was just thinking about one thing in the "History" section. The last paragraph is named [2024-present: Japanese comeback, digital single album and 7th Mini Album]: isn't it a bit overloaded? It might be just me but I feel like too many different things are put in just one paragraph (also we have to take into account that in 2024 WEi had no official promotions on stage), so what I propose is to divide 2024 and make it a standalone paragraph with a possible title [2024: Japanese comeback and digital single album], then refer to 2025 as in [2025-present: comeback with 7th Mini Album]. That'd also explain better the sentence in the paragraph about WEi making their comeback after 1 year and 7 months. I'd like to know how you feel about my suggestion. Let me know! Thank you Weiright (talk) 20:40, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Weiright I see no problem with the paragraphs in History section so no reason to split it. 𝙳.𝟷𝟾𝚝𝚑 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 22:28, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

yes you're right

I saw your edit in the paragraph title and I think that's great - better than before, less overloaded. Now it's quicker and easier to read. Thank you! Weiright (talk) 22:42, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
