ƎnígmǝEnigma (manga) — Per MOS:TM, article titles are to follow standard English text formatting and avoid using special characters that are not pronounced, are included purely for decoration, or simply substitute for English words. Neither Ǝ, í, or ǝ are standard English text formatting and are used to substitute for letters in the English word "Enigma". —Farix (t | c) 22:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

true, but currently no reliable source stating it as enigma, and the only romanization we got is this one. enigma (manga) is used as a redirect. when things like this occur, the option to redirect is available which does follow the standards of wikipedia. another situation of this is the Weiss - Weiß for a different manga.Bread Ninja (talk) 22:30, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
It's abundantly clear that the title is Enigma and that Ǝnígmǝ is simply a stylization. —Farix (t | c) 00:06, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
possibly, but i would rather verify it first than anything else. Now in the cover, the japanese name is in brackets. so that makes me question whether it's just stylized as such.Bread Ninja (talk) 19:15, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
The katakana of the title, "エニグマ", translates directly to the English word, "Enigma". "ǝnígmǝ" seems to be a mere stylization of this, as are the brackets around the katakana of the title.Darkmagick (talk) 23:01, 27 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
True, but thats not really reassuring. Theres a romanization here, a japanese katakana and no english version.Bread Ninja (talk) 15:03, 28 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
