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. §§§§

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. --

Oppose can't see any benefit to readers when the acronym also leads to the WP:RECOGNIZABILITY title

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. --

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.
