There is an academic journal that shares this abbreviation, which is the Yale Journal on Regulation
- Is the Yale Journal on Regulation ever referred to as "Jreg" or "jreg"? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 23:45, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- : Also, {{re|Red-tailed hawk|p=,}} would you like to bundle {{-r|JrEg}}, or do you see that as distinct in terms of WP:DIFFCAPS applicability? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 00:05, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- ::I would like to bundle that one; I don't see them as distinct in terms of WP:DIFFCAPS here. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:09, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- ::: Bundled. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 00:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- ::::{{re|Tamzin}} Can we also bundle JREG? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- ::::: Is anyone currently proposing any change to it? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 00:26, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- ::::::I don't want to put words in anybody's mouth, but is {{u|casualdejekyll}} doing that below in point#2? — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:32, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- :::::::No. JREG is probably best as a redirect to the journal, in my opinion. casualdejekyll 11:32, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- :The standard bluebook abbreviation for the journal would be the "Yale J.Reg.", though citation styles that drop the period (like [https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5767&context=uclrev Chicago style]) would render this as "Yale J Reg". A quick search shows that it's also referred to as Jreg on Zoominfo (
). — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:07, 1 September 2022 (UTC) - 1. It's not an ironic candidate. I don't know how many times I have to explain this to Wikipedians, but the guy actually 100% unironically wants to build a wall around Ottawa and engage in Ottawexit.
2. JREG redirects to the Yale Journal. I don't see why anyone would type it in title case and expect to be taken to the Journal.
3. Jreg was a large youtuber before they were a political candidate, and although they aren't individually notable as such I would think that there would be people less familiar with how Wikipedia selects article topics that would assume they deserve an article. Therefore, I think there's likely more people typing "Jreg" expecting Guevara then people typing "Jreg" expecting the journal. casualdejekyll 23:51, 31 August 2022 (UTC) - : FWIW there's Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greg Guevara. Wondering if that's at least worth restoring to draftspace. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 00:00, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- ::I'm not sure if you forgot (I do myself sometimes!{{humour note}}), but I'm not an admin and can't see deleted content. So as far as that's concerned, I have no comment on the issue. You'd think maybe there'd be coverage on one of the many things they've done (journalism, poetry, music, comedy, a pundit on Russia Today of all things) but I'm just not seeing it. casualdejekyll 00:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- :With respect, the extent to which the candidate is post-ironic as opposed to actually ironic is a bit of a red herring. The basic fact is that we have a notable academic journal and a decidedly non-notable political candidate; the notable journal is going to be the WP:PTOPIC here and I honestly don't think that the capitalization of "Jreg" substantially disambiguates from "JREG". — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:18, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- ::{{smalldiv|1=Whether the candidate is ironic or whatever variation of it, it's not really relevant to the RfD anyway. Everyone seems to describe them as an anarchist too, and I have my reservations with that as well, but I don't feel like wasting too much time here. I shouldn't have brought it up in the first place. casualdejekyll 00:28, 1 September 2022 (UTC)}}
- Keep JrEg per WP:DIFFCAPS. JrEg is a correct stylisation of the YouTuber's name, and is not a correct stylisation of the journal's name (which is either JREG per common usage, or JReg/J Reg/J. Reg based on ISO 4, but certainly not lowercase r and capital E). No opinion on Jreg. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 02:42, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep JrEg and Jreg going to the candiate, keep JREG going to the journal. This seems like a no-brainer to me, they don't use the same capitalization, so there's not much of a conflict, and we can just leave a note on either page that says "For JREG/Jreg, the journal/political candidate, see JREG/Jreg" Joe (talk) 21:53, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Jreg, JrEg, and JREG as each capitalization is only used to mean one of the possible topics. The citation "J. Reg." does not lead to either of the first two, while zoominfo is a database that is apparently so spammy that it has had to be added to the blacklist. eviolite (talk) 00:14, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
