Well, you article doesn't say anything about Akiba being short-hand for Akihabara. In fact, it's saying that "Akihabara" was short hand for something else, that the word "Akiba" was merely a part of.

That being said, the characters in the Light Novel are referring to the city as アキバ, and i haven' found an instance of the Kanji for Akihabara... (Though, I admit I can't really read Japanese, recognizing katakana is easy enough)

Isn't it proof enough that the title of the 5 episode says "Akiba"?

This is just the result of a lazy translator using a term he's some-what familiar with, as oposed to actually looking at the script, or reading the bok. This isn't the first time such a thing has happened.
