Date format

Should we use British date format on this article instead of American date format? Although Michael Jackson was American, this article is describing what was a planned London concert residency, and London is in the United Kingdom. Therefore, I vote we use British date format, as it was set to be a British concert residency and not an American one, even though Jackson himself was American. 77.98.210.44 (talk) 17:15, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support This article presents a conflict between MOS:TIES & MOS:RETAIN. At the risk of WP:WHATABOUTX, I will point at 2001: A Space Odyssey as example of a film produced in Britain by an American director. It contains the {{Use British English}} near the top of its wiki text. Peaceray (talk) 18:02, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
