Shouldn't this be at "Bádi"?

The cover on the magazine reads "Bádi". WhisperToMe 23:22, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I see it as a design thing. The Japanese "バデイ" is three syllables: ba-de-i (when de and small i are combined in katakana it's meant to reproduce a di sound, which doesn't exist in Japanese). Romanization doesn't use accents, so if the mark was a macron it would become ba-a-de-i. Exploding Boy 23:52, Jul 5, 2004 (UTC)

Oh, and to add to that, I found that the A is capitalized. So the magazine's title is "BÁdi". It is certainly a design thing. The page should be moved to the title that has the accent and the capitalized A. WhisperToMe 01:12, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Why was the page moved back? I don't understand why the magazine cover should be disregarded? Umlaut-rock band articles are at the titles with the umlauts, and European names (e.g. Gerhard Schröder) are at the umlauted titles. WhisperToMe 04:14, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

On second thought, I saw Golbez's post. Now I know why it was changed. WhisperToMe 06:57, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)
