Emotionally I like the idea, because it is fun. Intellectually this is not a topic for an encyclopaedia because it lacks notability. Fiddle Faddle 22:01, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There's much more extensive discussion of a very similar subject at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_trademarks_using_french_nouns; many of the pro and con arguments there would apply to this article as well. Ammodramus (talk) 01:04, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- To continue that comment, I think these two should be bundled. Ansh6 6 6 01:05, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, indiscriminate without any informational value. There is nothing interesting about a trademark consisting of or including a noun or any other kind of word extant in the language. postdlf (talk) 02:05, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both by WP:OR. You can't just put together two qualifications, in this case "trademark" and "English noun", and create a notable list. You might as well have "List of American presidents with four letter last names" or anything else you make up. Kitfoxxe (talk) 14:46, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I had not even noticed the use of "noun". What next List of trademarks using english verbs. I also just noticed that the capitalization of the title is wrong, English should be capitalized.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:04, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Indiscriminate and blatantly original research. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 00:33, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - yes, it is informational, but not a very useful observation. Virtually all "strong" trademarks and brand names use common nouns; in fact, it is a doctrine of intellectual property law, see Trademark dilution. To make a complete list would go on for hundreds of entries, and not inform our readers of anything unusual. Bearian (talk) 22:34, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
