Irrelevant. This is precisely what they do on every single album cover, so it is reliably sourced. And it's not "Clie-eet", since the other letters aren't Cyrillic. In this particular instance, И emphatically is a backwards N, just like the umlauted letters in Mötley Crüe are simply a typographic effect, and do not at all represent a German-stye pronunciation. Given that "CLIEИT" can be copy-pasted from any website or whatever and pasted into the Wikipedia search box, that has to stay in the article so that people find it. — SMcCandlishTalk⇒〈°⌊°〉Contribs.01:00, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Characters are decided by what Unicode considers them. И is the Cyrillic letter I and that's Unicode's official description. We can't use them as if they were something different. Do you call 2012 2012 or 20l2?? Georgia guy (talk) 01:05, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's a sourced fact that the band does this, exactly like Mötley Crüe incorrectly use ö and ü. We are not at liberty to pretend they aren't doing this. I'm sorry you find this improper or frustrating. Write the bands some angry letters. Take it up at WP:VPP if you want. Singling out this particular article to impose your personal dislike of how a band misuses typography is not appropriate. Re: 2012: If a band has an album spelled "20l2" then the title of that album is in fact "20l2", not "2012" even if peoprle pronounce it "2012". An real-world case in point is the KMFDM side project H3llb3nt. It's spelled that way on every release, but pronounced "Hellbent". C'est la vie. See also the movie Se7en. No one cares that Unicode defines "7" as a numeral, and everyone knows it is not pronounced "se-seven-en". Another example is the musician Da5id Din of the industrial band Din Fiv; no one's head asplode. Here's another one: Spın̈al Tap. See also Heavy metal umlaut. — SMcCandlishTalk⇒〈°⌊°〉Contribs. 01:23, 24 February 2012 (UTC) NB: Spın̈al Tap in particular is written exactly like this article. — SMcCandlishTalk⇒〈°⌊°〉Contribs.02:01, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I added a note about the character to the lead that should obviate the concern raised. It's more verbiage than I like about trivia like this, but the Spın̈al Tap article does exactly the same thing (other than it redirects to the actual stylized version of the name; I wouldn't actually want to do that with Client for at least three reasons, and I don't think the Spın̈al Tap article should either, for at least two of those... — SMcCandlishTalk⇒ ɖ∘¿¤þ Contrib.14:33, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
