MAKJ → Makj – Name stylisation in caps, the Wiki name should be lowercased instead. aNode (discuss) 14:25, 24 September 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. –Ammarpad (talk) 06:54, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I see "MakJ" in the headline and "Makj" in the body of the cited Billboard article. The others (some of which are self-published or promotional) seem to use "MAKJ". How is it pronounced? I'm guessing it's like Mack-J. If so, perhaps "MakJ" would be better than "Makj". Do any other sources use "MakJ"? In a web news search, I see mostly "MAKJ". —BarrelProof (talk) 19:30, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We should probably follow what the majority of reliable sources say, ignoring the self-published sources. Billboard labels him as Makj at [1] and [2], but some other links from the same site has his name in caps, [3], [4]. aNode (discuss) 15:21, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support moving but unsure where. The capital letter stylisation must go per WP:ALLCAPS and MOS:TMCAPS. It is easy to assume that his name being Mackenzie Johnson, he shortened it to Mak J and that's how it's pronounced, however we must not assume. It is mostly consistently capitalised, with a only a couple of examples of Makj, and MakJ. So undecided Lazz _R 22:13, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support and I prefer Makj. feminist (talk) 06:55, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support either MakJ as Bein, Kat. "Steve Aoki, Deorro, MakJ & Max Styler Mix Boom With Mariachi on 'Shakalaka': Listen". Billboard. or Makj or Mak J. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:30, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; as we have no sources to give us an idea whether or not it's supposed to be written or pronounced as "MakJ" or not, we should follow MOS:TMCAPS: "When sources are mixed, follow the standard formatting and capitalisation used for proper names". Which in this instance, is Makj. Perhaps in the future we will see more sources using MakJ and explaining it. But for now this should be a solution. Lazz _R 16:24, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
