• Oppose. These appear to by primary sources. Until the name change is reflected in secondary sources we should not rename. Andrewa (talk) 08:51, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

• Confused by this comment -- these do not appear to be all primary sources, but a mix?--Yaksar (let's chat) 14:55, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

• Support Appears to now be the commonly used name in reliable independent sources, including those noted in the nomination and coming up in a news search.--Yaksar (let's chat) 14:56, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose per MOS:ALLCAPS. 162 etc. (talk) 14:23, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose per 162. Unless someone is going to TAP into an rfc to change the mos. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:35, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose just because they use bad caps is not a reason for Wikipedia to follow. --Seggallion (talk) 17:00, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose, per WP:TRADEMARK. We don't follow arbitrary capitalization schemes just because the brand's owner does.--Srleffler (talk) 17:34, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
• Support Since the name change last year, it also seems to be capitalized by reliable media, not just in titling but also used when addressing his name in the articles from The Native "ref 1", and The Native "ref 2". Following this sourcing, the name "SPINALL" as proposed, seems to be mostly used.--Afí-afeti (talk) 05:06, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
  • In addition to this, his Google Knowledge panel is capitalized "SPINALL" also.--Afí-afeti (talk) 10:31, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
