I know this has been brought up before, but I cringe every time I see Dir En Grey. I can appreciate sticking to formatting rules, but when it comes to artist/album/song titles, I think they should be stylized as the artist intended. I think you guys have been too anal about this and should just switch over to the official styling of the band name (DIR EN GREY). I don't think it's necessary to provide proof that this is how the band writes it, since that's already been done before. My argument is just that seeing "Dir En Grey" all over the page is inaccurate, and will lead to more people miscapitalizing the name.Merveilles (talk) 13:26, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

I'd just like to point out the stylization used on the bell hooks page. Why can't we do that for Dir en grey? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.197.61 (talk) 18:50, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
Please, Please! Take the "metal-core" genre off the page. I was simply going to remove it but decided to do it the right way and I created an account and posted here, solely for the purpose of hopefully taking out "metal-core." DIR EN GREY(<----How it should be stylized) is certainly in no way influenced by metal-core and definitely doesn't sound remotely like it.Please take out the "metal-core" genre from the page, it's embarrassing to the fans and the band. Thank you.Theconman4444 (talk) 22:09, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Erm... DSS and Marrow both have strong metalcore influences (「欲巣にDREAMBOX」あるいは成熟の理念と冷たい雨 and rotting root as an example.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.48.241.202 (talk) 09:17, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
Proposer's Rationale: These members are only known for this band, articles read like ESP instrument advertisement and sourced only to advertisement. Little info on members can go to main band page. Ficadimerda (talk)
