Sticky Note = The 3M Brand?

'Sticky Note' deserves its own article, instead of an automatic redirection. I have tried, but failed(https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sticky_note&action=history). You may read the discussion(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sticky_note). Gillette is the dominating brand of disposable razors, but should the article for 'disposable razor' be an automatic redirection to Gillete's article? That should not be the case even if the producer is a monoploy. Please use logic. I simply want things to make sense logically. Since this is too difficult due to some strange reasons, I must give up.110.174.132.162 (talk) 15:21, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's not really relatable, since Gillete is a company, that would make sense if post-it note and sticky note redirected to 3M. But use common sense, post-it note and sticky note mean the same thing, sure, one is a more branded name (and I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to a move to sticky note), but they are duplicate articles. It would be as if you would create an article at air bubble packaging, which is clearly the same thing as bubble wrap, because other non-trademarked products existed, it's still a duplicate article and relevant information should go in bubble wrap.

Gillette is both a company name and a brand name. You had failed to understand the logic from the beginning. Look at the symbols at the end of the followings and check the respective company websites - 'Gillette®' and 'Post-it®' are on the same level in terms of legal status. The other points that should follow have already been mentioned. There is no need to repeat here. Do not worry, I have read some more talk history. The matter is not particularly with you. Thank you for the guidance. I have learned something. It is possible that the problem is on the term 'common sense'. The 'common sense' of dictionary editors, like those in Cambridge University Press(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/amp/english/sticky-note)(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/post-it-note?q=post-it), is different from that of the editors of this English version of Wikipedia. The voters who opposed to establishing a de-branded article five years ago gave the reason that they seldom heard of the other names, despite the statistical data the proposer quoted, showing that it was just them, but not users of the English language in general. That is understandable. However, the tendency to disallow a few lines of 'duplication' to exist is pretty strange. Perhaps there are millions of 'duplicated' disambiguation pages to delete. It could be about ethnocentricity, brilliant marketing strategies or something worse. Anyway, I shall not try to dig into this. It must be terribly deep. By the way, you should try to merge the articles 'Bubble Wrap' and 'Bubble Wrap (brand)', or delete either, according to your reasoning about duplication.110.174.132.162 (talk) 09:19, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Post-it Note → Post-it note – I don't think "note" should be capitalised here. QueenofBithynia (talk) 16:48, 30 October 2022 (UTC) Nominator blocked for sockpuppetry. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 01:48, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As was noted in the previous move discussion, many of the Ngrams results are due to this. Deor (talk) 02:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 August 2023

Post-it Note → Post-it note – or Sticky note. The lowercasing would revert an undiscussed move of 3 April 2018‎, back to the title the article had during the RM of 2015. The trademark is merely "Post-it"; it does not include the word "Note". The company itself consistently used lowercase for the last word in the phrases "Post-it note" and "Post-it notes" for its history publication and always puts the registered trademark symbol "®" next to "Post-it", not after "Note" or "Notes". The logo does not include the word "Note" – it just says "Post-it", and the products have "notes", somewhere else on the label, often in lowercase (see here a picture that shows "notes" in lowercase if you zoom in to look at the pictures of the product label). Google Ngram shows lowercase very dominant. If there was a trademark for the full phrase, it would probably be plural as "Notes", but this title is singular as "Note". The company website has some overcapping, but does that to a lot of things, like the second word in "Post-it® Products". Sorry for reopening this question, but the last RM was tainted by a sockpuppetry problem and did not contain any of the information I provided in this rationale. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:50, 13 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 08:56, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
