Lauren Spencer-Smith → Lauren Spencer Smith – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Reliable sources have gone from using the hyphenated Spencer-Smith to the non-hyphenated Spencer Smith sometime between 2022 and 2023. For example:
There are many other instances out there. She also uses the non-hyphenated form on her official website and social media pages, YouTube, Spotify, etc. 78.82.201.71 (talk) 20:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per COMMONNAME and NCBIO#Self-published name changes (SPNC). Her Linktree has links to multiple social media profiles which drop the hyphen, including the ones listed by the nom an others. SPNC calls for following the subject's usage for minor spelling variations including punctuation. That the press has picked up this styling further supports the change. Wikipedia won't let me link to Linktree but you can find this at: https://linktr.ee/LAURENSPENCERSMITH --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk13:22, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
