Whether it is "neo-fascist" (as a matter of fact) is open to debate. The article has citations for the party being described as that, which is not quite the same thing. But it is indeed absurd to call it neo-Nazi. Moonraker (talk) 07:51, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "DunkinDonuts", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because Usernames that are simply names of companies or groups are not permitted (WP:ISU). If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 20:36, 2 December 2021 (UTC

My username does not violate the policy. When I decided to set my name to DunkinDonuts many years ago now, it was not in reference to the company. In fact, I prefer Starbucks. At the time of setting up the account, I was enjoying a donut at breakfast with a cup of coffee. As it happens, I dunked the donut into the coffee, thereby creating the amalgamation of the words dunkin and donuts. Additionally, even if my name were to be in reference to the company(which it is not), the company now refers to itself as "Dunkin'". But let me stress that even if they had not changed their name, my username would not be in violation. My name has never been "Dunkin'Donuts". My name is DunkinDonuts. Finally, my name is clearly not promotional, as if you've looked at my edits, you'll see that I've never posted a thing about Dunkin' Donuts, negative or positive, but certainly not in a way that promotes their brand.

 * I love Dunkin Donuts (the company) and also dunking donuts (into coffee), so I hear you. And I don't think you are here as a representative of the company or with the intent to promote them in any way. However your username is the same as a well-known brand, and that is an issue when it comes to the username policy. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 21:38, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Understood. In that case, would it be acceptable to change my name to "dunkingdonuts"? DunkinDonuts (talk) 23:35, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think that's probably fine. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 22:45, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I was just going to rename your account per this request, but, unfortunately, that username is already taken. Do you have another in mind? -- The SandDoctor Talk 16:56, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Would DunkingDoughnuts work? Sadly DunkinDoughnuts is also taken. -- The SandDoctor Talk 17:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Yeah I suppose that would work DunkinDonuts (talk) 17:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Overrode the antispoof check and changed it to DunkinDoughnuts. Looked again and that other user hasn't edited since 2009 and only made 2 edits. -- The SandDoctor Talk 17:33, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
