Peugeot

Are you sure you know the right pronunciation, the right plural, the right gender, the right capitalization of this word, in all languages? If not, where do you think you can find this (linguistic) information, but here? None of this is provided in the current version of the page, but this will be added some day (if the page still exists). Lmaltier 18:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Good point. Keep. —Stephen 18:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately this argument would also seem to support the inclusion of every proper noun in existence. -- Visviva 08:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete the company sense as purely encyclopedic; possibly RFV the vehicular sense (I found it surprisingly difficult to find any cites that meet the proposed criterion, although I suspect they are out there somewhere). -- Visviva 08:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep car type, (maybe merge company name into it as etymology) and add Proper noun as a French family name.--Dmol 10:37, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I would want to delete all brand names, but we seem to have an entry for every American make of car, BMW, Volvo and probably many others, so why not Peugeot? Quite seriously, shouldn't we take a policy against all brand names with exception of some rare cases where they have become to mean something else like "to hoover" in England?

Would inclusion in fiction be an indication of the extent to which a brand name had become part of general culture? With all the scanned material, pop fiction is a window into the center of society. DCDuring 05:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Keep, 697 b.g.c. hits (fiction only), first one in 1949 in a John O'Hara novel. That's not bad. DCDuring 05:31, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
