Should we have an article about.....?

Muriel Cigars?.... I just saw an ad for them on a you tube video about 50s television ads. They seem to have been well known in the United states back then. What do you all think? Thanks and God bless! Antonio El Cajun Martin (Say that again! I dare you to say that again!) 10:24, September 22, 2022 (UTC)

Hello Brands

Hi, I have come from WP:CAR where there is a discussion happening for the nth time about the word marque, which is often used in Britain and other parts of the world, but not used in North America.

I make the point that marque and brand are not synonyms. Marques are brands, but not vice-versa. I claimed a marque is the branding of a legal entity that makes a product, but not branding of a product itself.

This is relevant to improving articles where editors mistake names of products and manufacturers.

Does anybody have any thoughts? Rally Wonk (talk) 16:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brand/marque: the manufacturer or the brand that the manufacturer uses (e.g. BMW or Holden)

Model (or product as you’re calling it): the car itself (e.g. BMW 5 Series or Holden Commodore)

I struggle to understand what the actual issue is you’re bringing up as these seem quite simple definitions. Adriazeri (talk) 17:39, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
