Do we really need ARIN logo from 2001?

[edit]

The image is bad quality, and I don't think it really adds anything to the article. Unless someone voices an objection, I'll put it up for deletion. §§§§ Alquerytalk 23:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It does show the initial geography of the organization 68.48.171.239 (talk) 04:36, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It should be reinserted in the History section since it has relevant info but from historical perspective — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.53.198.130 (talk) 15:55, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

American Registry for Internet NumbersARIN – ARIN is the common name for this organisation, as per: WP:COMMONNAME Angryskies (talk) 15:27, 5 July 2020 (UTC)Relisting. Mdaniels5757 (talk) 21:04, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per WP:ACRONYMTITLE, this is an institution for which the full name is used in professional and academic publications, and the full name is used on both their website and in their logo. It should be discussed on the talk pages before moving. --Ahecht (TALK

  • Oppose can't see any benefit to readers when the acronym also leads to the WP:RECOGNIZABILITY title In ictu oculi (talk) 12:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This is the common name, like its fellow RIR's APNIC, AFRINIC and LACNIC. If there was another organisation that used ARIN as its name or an abbreviation, then I wouldn't consider moving the article.
  • Oppose - per WP:TITLEFORMAT:"Avoid ambiguous abbreviations". There is a pretty high bar set for which acronyms are so well-known that we would avoid using the full name, and I don't think this case meets it. ARIN already redirects, so this has no impact on editors or searchers. -- Netoholic @ 08:01, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per WP:ACRONYMTITLE. As an encyclopedia, we should use an organization's full name as its article's title except in those rare instances where the topic is known almost exclusively by an abbreviation. Station1 (talk) 18:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
