Maō (TV series)dEvil (TV series) – According to the TBS Program Catalog, the English title of this drama series is dEVIL. Considering WP:EN and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)#Foreign-language films, unless this series has actually been broadcast or released on disc or on demand with English subtitles under a different title, the article should use the official English name given in the program catalog.

However, I'm not sure how and to which extent to un-stylize the stylized capitals of the official title. iMac and g.o.d are accepted, so maybe dEvil (using Template:Lowercase title) would be OK? Though DEvil or just Devil would also be fine by me. Tempjrds (talk) 15:07, 24 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 18:19, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Having given it more thought, eBay and iMac are pronounced "E-Bay" and "I-Mac", but this title does not seem to be intended to be pronounced as "D-Evil", but just as "Devil". So I believe Devil (TV series) would actually be the correct title. Thank you for making me think this through a bit more logically. --Tempjrds (talk) 16:34, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
