Oppose. Unlike
Sony, the majority of this article's sources, the majority of other reliable sources, including
books,
academic journals, and
the company itself all use all-caps in running text. Given that the minority of sources can't even decide on
"Cnet" versus
"CNet", why not go with what the large majority of sources and the company use - which will also be what our readers are most familiar with.

Support move to CNet. There is no way we can allow "CNET" to stay (@
Lugnuts: we don't allow allcaps even if their own site uses it) and it appears "CNet" is more common among the other options. I could be wrong on the comparison, though. ONR (talk) 05:53, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Oppose – The full-caps spelling has always been dominant in sources since the 1990s, this is not a case of mere styling. Even when the company's logo style was all-lowercase and included an ornamental pipe ("c|net"), commentators still called them CNET. Besides, if you argue to de-cap, then why keep the camel-case "CNet"? House style would argue for "Cnet" then (which I don't endorse either). —
