- Jackson Ryan (June 24, 2021). "Inside Wikipedia's endless war over the coronavirus lab leak theory". CNET. Retrieved June 24, 2021.
But at CNET's Talk page, Wikipedia editors have been presenting for and against arguments on whether the page should be titled "CNET," "Cnet" or "CNet" for years. For what it's worth, we like to capitalize it (except in our logo, it seems).

CNET → CNet – Per MOS:CAPS; the name is a shortening, rather than an initialism or acronym, of the former name. It is pronounced as "C-net" rather than "C-N-E-T". IceWelder [✉] 10:16, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:04, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- A majority of reliable sources use "CNET", not "CNet" (as does https://www.cnet.com/about/). I also couldn't find any sources that the name is a shortening of Computer Network. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 13:34, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose Per MOS:CAPS, which directs us to follow reliable sourcing when it clearly and overwhelmingly uses a title style, as is the case here.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:51, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose, basically per what I said in 2016. "CNet" is too much of a Wikipedia invention. Nohomersryan (talk) 01:14, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. We don't invent names. -- Calidum 03:54, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose per all the above. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 07:53, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral. Style or not, they co-opted the term, sort of?? Disambiguation?? What about the elephant in the room? Historically, CNET is the precedent standard abbreviation/shortening of Computer Network => Computer Net => C\NET => CNET, yes, fully capitalized. If anyone would care to Google any (now) ancient tech magazines and books, and even through to this day’s current college courses and media. WurmWoodeT 04:45, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose the site itself uses CNET blindlynx (talk) 10:45, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've learned from miscellaneous sources backed up a little by self-checking that, starting back on 12/01/2020 and throughout early 2021, CNET closed down their public forums that had allowed miscellaneous topic discussions. Yet, apparently this article doesn't yet mention about it or at least does not contain the word 'forum' whatsoever. So, being that this information doesn't seem to be covered much by CNet itself, it would be BEST that it be included in here. I can't do it myself because I have no official connection to it and just happened to stumble upon this seemingly-correct information when trying to find an old forum post that I'd written there myself, which now no longer exists along with nothing in CNet's menus showing Discussion "Forum"/"Forums" any longer either.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.205.208.41 (talk)
- Actually, it should only be mentioned in the article if it's received significant coverage in reliable published sources. Has it? BilCat (talk) 22:12, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not just the forums, all of the user accounts are nixed - there's the button on the profiles page which does nothing. However, in signing in the Red Ventures download.zendesk you get:

Make of that what you will. Lmstearn (talk) 03:30, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I did a bit of adjustment of the content related to CNET August 2023 deletion of articles. So far, it needs some improvement on grammar and flow, and also coverage of content from the event that may help shape overall perspectives of the topic.
