[edit] Trojan Condom
Advertising or something like it. Mandel 06:15, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
The company would deserve an article, but it would need to be moved to the actual name of the corporation and rewritten into a decent stub. As I can't do this, delete unless improved. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 06:17, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)- I have to agree with Meelar: the content of this article is very lacking, although the company is certainly notable. delete unless improved ClockworkTroll 06:19, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Weak keep, provided this is expanded before VfD expires. Topic is valid but one-line articles don't really add any value to Wikipedia. jni 06:44, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, I did a little expansion. —siroχo 08:59, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Didn't see it before but looks good now.--Tomheaton 12:33, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, a famous brand; in case there isn't one now there should be a disambiguation at Trojan that points to this. Probably ought to move to Trojan condom. Didn't they build a giant one of these to end the Trojan War? Smerdis of Tlön 14:15, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep now: The Trojans lost the war because they never had any children. Geogre 15:09, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep as improved, notable company. --Goobergunch 20:55, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep: The article could be expanded but deserves to stay. DCEdwards1966 21:37, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep in present form. (What I'd really like to see is an article that traces fads and fashions in product names. Obviously there was an era of Homeric names (Ajax cleanser). Ramses and Sheik, other condom brands, seem to be playing off of--what? the King Tut craze? "Acme" is now mostly a Roadrunner cartoon joke, but there must have been a vogue for them in the thirties; by the fifties the Yellow Pages were still full of Acme this and Pinnacle that and Peerless the other. And there must have been a time when names ending in -ola and -eeta were popular. The fifties and sixties brought a lot of -Ramas. The seventies, This World and That World and The Other Thing world.

- Well, the reason for the Acme isn't so faddish. If you really want business, name yourself something that comes first in the Yellow Pages. "Acme" was just page rank boosting for the print age. In Athens, GA, there was A. Aaronson Bail Bondsmen. They had matchbooks they passed out at bars that said, "A. Aaronson Bail Bondsmen: Where it's always spring time." Gotta love it.
