J. K. Simmons → J.K. Simmons – IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic all refer to him without a space. Unreal7 (talk) 18:53, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The authoritative American Film Institute Catalog lists him as J. K. Simmons. For similarly-styled main title headers, see List of literary initials. In the wild, spacing is inconsistent. However, Wikipedia has an established spacing style for initials. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:18, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per above. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:19, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – WP style is to use spaces in initials, per MOS:INITIALS. Dicklyon (talk) 04:54, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, but not overwhelmingly. If he hasn't ever expressed a preference (and he may well have), I doubt most of the above sources put significant thought into how to spell out his initials. As such, I'd lean on the side of consistency/Wiki style rules in this case. Nohomersryan (talk) 06:21, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and snow close. Jonathan Kimble Simmons - here is not imdb. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:50, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per MOS:INITIALS. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:33, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as all above. Different publications have their own house styles. This is ours. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:23, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and can't even try to add something new and different. Agree 100% MaskedSinger (talk) 15:18, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
