Current (company) → Current, powered by GE – Due to trademarking, we are to refer to the company as Current, powered by GE instead of simply current. Please see the company website as an example, the first mention of the company MUST be Current, powered by GE and subsequent mentions can be Current. www.currentbyge.com Sbick86 (talk) 13:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose – read MOS:TRADEMARKS which states the following: When deciding how to format a trademark, editors should choose among styles already in use by sources (not invent new ones) and then choose the style that most closely resembles standard English, regardless of the preference of the trademark owner. This practice helps ensure consistency in language and avoids drawing undue attention to some subjects rather than others. Most reliable sources use the name "Current", which is the name of the company. IMO, it sounds like power by GE is just a branding technique rather than its official and common name.

 * Oppose - The phrase "powered by GE" is a tagline/slogan, akin to the tagline "a subsidiary of..." used by other companies. If there are reliable sources found that show the company was officially registered with the name "Curent, powered by GE", then I'd probably change my !vote.   --  1Wiki8 ...........................

Current (company) → Current, powered by GE – please see trademark for Current powered by GE https://trademarks.justia.com/867/75/current-powered-by-86775517.html. Reopening request to move page under that name. Sbick86 (talk) 20:01, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose You already nominated this ten days ago, and it failed then. P p p er y 22:43, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose – already failed. Has not firmly established basis for a move.  CookieMonster755   𝚨-𝛀    02:47, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Nothing has changed. Under MOS:TRADEMARKS, the official trademark preference used by a company is usually irrelevant when naming articles here on Wikipedia. And per WP:COMMONAME, there also must be sufficient reliable sources that use that longer name. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:39, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. No, we are not an advertising site for the way companies choose to brand themselves. You don't reopen an RM after it's been closed a few days ago. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:52, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
