Rak Records → RAK Records – This move will follow the corresponding other Wikipedia articles which also have capitals (List of records by RAK Records and RAK Studios). Also have a look at the following sources rakstudios.co.uk, theraksinglesclub.com, discogs.com, www.ranker.com and the Facebook page. From WP:COMMONNAME "Wikipedia...generally prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article". In this case RAK Records is the most commonly used name and from WP:ACRONYMTITLE "Acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject". I could go on. SethWhales talk 18:51, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose, it's the other articles that need to be moved to Rak. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - referred to in the trade press without the caps. [1] is an interesting case, where both CAPS and non-caps are used. Here the company refers to itself without the caps. It would say it is about 60/40 in favor of without caps when it comes to how the company is referred to. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:34, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
