"stylized as TIME"

[edit]

User:Ryulong can you please provide an English print source that shows this album is capitalized as TIME in running text? Thanks In ictu oculi (talk) 15:21, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's the Japanese language stylization. As far as I know this album is not mentioned in any English language print sources to begin with.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 15:23, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Then it needs to say "Japanese text uses CAPITAL LETTERS for English names of albums", that isn't stylized, that is simply a practice in Japanese html. Unless you can provide English language sources that show the name is stylized in English as CAPITALS the lede should read "written in Japanese with capital English letters" not "stylized", this isn't a stylism.

It's not "practice in Japanese html". And the first god damn reference in the article uses "TIME" rather than "Time". And the use of "stylization" is a stupid Wikipedia forced thing when the manual of style decides that "TIME" is not a valid article title when this album's name is not read as "Tee I Emm E". A technicality forced on editors of these articles by the internal manuals of style should not be a point of contention that you see as unsourced. This album's name is written as "TIME" in Japan, as much as this album's name is written as "sakanaction" and how Chiaki Kuriyama was briefly a recording artist named "CHiAKi KURiYAMA". Japanese way of playing with the English alphabet is known. There are rarely if ever English language reliable sources for these subjects, nd there's no reason to omit how these albums' titles are written within Japan simply because it's English and it had to be changed for the sake of Wikipedia not allowing any exceptions to the manuals of style.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 15:36, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
