Saori@destiny is not stylized

[edit]

The at symbol in Saori@Destiny's artist name is not stylized and is a legitimate part of the artist name. Without it, this entire page naming her as "Saori Destiny" is incorrect.

There is proof for this as many legitimate sources have kana for her name as "saori atto desutinii" (サオリアットデスティニー) such as this interview with OCN (in Japanese) plus her official Myspace account has this in the Japanese portion of her biography and the artist herself introduces herself as "Saori at Destiny" as seen in this video.

Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure how to move this page back to the Saori@Destiny/Saori@destiny. Any help with this would be appreciated. --Crystalworld (talk) 16:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name her page as "Saori Destiny" is correct per MOS:TM. The page can be named "Saori at Destiny" per the kana you provided but it cannot be "Saori@destiny". MS (Talk|Contributions) 16:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not exactly sure how to move it, but "Saori at Destiny" sounds good, plus it makes writing a lot simpler (being able to write Destiny rather than Saori@destiny). I'll look into it. - Torika (talk) 12:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done, it was a lot simpler than I'd anticipated (so you know, the Move button is to the right of Talk and you just have to put the new name and reason) - Torika (talk) 12:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move. While the typical practice is to avoid special characters in titles, we can't create new names that don't appear in any reliable sources.Cúchullain t/c 20:11, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Let me quote MoS/TM itself:

"When deciding how to format a trademark, editors should choose among styles already in use (not invent new ones) and choose the style that most closely resembles standard English, regardless of the preference of the trademark owner. This practice helps ensure consistency in language and avoids drawing undue attention to some subjects rather than others."

Really, does MOS/TM has to be misquoted all the time? Hill Crest's WikiLaser (Boom.) (talk) 04:25, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently it does whenever the subject is a Japanese individual. I can't think of one instance where "Saori at Destiny" has been used to refer to this person other than on Wikipedia, but that may be because her presence is not known in the English market.—Ryulong (琉竜) 04:54, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
