Article title

I have just reverted a page move, as requested by @Dissident93 at RM/TR with this rationale:

@Debartolo2917 moved the page believing that all initials need to be spaced out, but MOS:INITIALS only says to do that if the name is commonly written that way which is not the case per his own social media accounts, Ohio State team profile, and most other coverage.

I want to clarify here that I believe Dissident's argument relies on MOS:BIOEXCEPT, not MOS:INITIAL. Of the two conditions BIOEXCEPT requires, the subject's social media profile probably fulfills the "clearly declared...a preferred exceptional style", but judging by the references in this article evidence for the commonname part is mixed.

However, I think that's the wrong line of argument here. "JT" are the initials of the subject's first and last names, but these are consistently used together with his last name as "JT Tuimolau", so these are not initials. Rather, "JT" is a nickname and covered by MOS:NICKNAME. This is why I believe the article should be at the "JT" title (though this had no bearing on my decision to revert the move, which is a matter of procedure).
