Talk:Spar (retailer)

Numbering
The numbers in the table are written in what I believe is the European format, eg 1.234 metres squared, which reads to me as about one and a quarter metres squared, as opposed to over a thousand. I realise they're talking about European stores, but being as this is the English language version, should they not be put into the English format (1,234 metres squared) for clarity? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.146.37.156 (talk) 22:54, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

The 'See also' section needs some relevant links adding to it
In my opinion, the 'See also' section needs some relevant links adding to it as it is currently empty and in my opinion it is pointless having an empty tab within the article. Xboxsponge15 (talk) 21:10, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Door Eendrachtig Samenwerken Profiteren Allen Regelmatig
The article gives two different translations for the Dutch phrase "Door Eendrachtig Samenwerken Profiteren Allen Regelmatig": These mean pretty much the same thing, but it's still confusing to give two different translations. J I P &#124; Talk 23:30, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment Noting this was previously at WP:RMTR here. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:02, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose I think Spar (retailer) would be more appropriate, given WP:TITLEFORMAT and MOS:TMRULES. As far as I know SPAR isn't an acronym, even though the original DESPAR was, looking at https://spar-international.com/history/. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:03, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose per MOS:TMRULES. We don't use trademarks. Move to Spar (retailer) per Kj cheetham. cookie monster   755  06:56, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose per MOS:TMRULES. Move to Spar (retailer), not an acronym - see also nl wikipedia etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:21, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The 1st part of the name was dropped but the rest still really is an acronym.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 10:53, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * My interpretation (I don't have a source to confirm) was that it became a "orphaned initialism". -Kj cheetham (talk) 08:37, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm unsure either way but given at least the company uses "SPAR" consistently in running text. This is different to Wikipedia for example where the all caps isn't used outside the logo and even Adidas where the all lower case is used consistently in running text but per MOS:TM is a proper noun. If we're unsure what the correct title is per MOSTM then I'd defer to what the trademark owner prefers.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 11:36, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Move to Spar (retailer) instead, per MOS:TMRULES. — Ætoms  [talk] 11:28, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose the suggested move. Move to Spar (retailer), per MOS:TMRULES. gidonb (talk) 13:31, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
