POLYGON experiment → Polygon experiment – The all-caps isn't used in the Physics Today cited source, and there is no clear justification for it. It also doesn't appear to be all-capped in the Kort & Samoĭlenko cited source and is not consistently all-capped in the Kuh Kim Ph.D. thesis. The proposed target name already redirects to the same topic, and has ever since it and the article were created more than ten years ago. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 06:33, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Support: POLYGON, MODE and POLYMODE are rendered as such in the Munk&Day.  MODE is an acronym and this appears to be an editorial decision based on how to render "polymode", which is a combination of the former two.  It is not rendered in all caps in Physics Today and all caps would be contrary to MOS:CAPS (see MOS:ALLCAPS), WP:NCCAPS and WP:AT (see WP:TITLETM for a quite similar case).  It also raises the question of how "polygon" should be capitalised in running text, and the correct capitalisation for the related terms that are red-linked ATM.

 * Support – No need for such shouting, when sources get away with a more normal style (like ours). Dicklyon (talk) 23:51, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support - Not an acronym so no need to cap. Primergrey (talk) 18:51, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
