List of organizations with names based on word/phrase puns
Useless list, not really accurate, likely POV. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 23:38, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete A number of popular names for companies are like this, I can't imagine that this list could ever be wholly comprehensive. Also, most of these are more portmanteuas than puns.DeathThoreau 01:38, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Can't see any reason to delete this. -- JJay 01:45, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The reason is that this list is ill-defined and probably unmaintainable. Most of the companies in that list are actually just modified acronyms.  So they're not really based on "puns". mmm beer T / C / ? 02:38, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Good, interesting list. CalJW 02:50, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete A silly concept. How can it be useful, let alone accurate? It's mainly a list of names based on portmanteaux and acronyms, not puns. At bare minimum, it needs to have its name changed. What's next, a list of companies whose CEO's open their cereal boxes from the bottom? Chris the speller 03:05, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Extreme delete, nonsense list. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:12, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete; Content can go on List of company name etymologies, or List of portmanteaus. Tom Harrison (talk) 03:30, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Overblown and unencyclopedic list. --Apostrophe 05:06, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, it's just advertising. -- Kjkolb 05:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nonsense. Hamster Sandwich 05:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not advertising or nonsense, but definitely silly and useless.  Each company name can be explained in the article about that company.  Logophile 06:07, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Impossible to maintain and pointless. FCYTravis 06:49, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per FCYTravis. FreplySpang (talk) 16:48, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Harmless list. No reason to delete. Would possibly support a merge to list of portmanteaus.....possibly. Jcuk 20:54, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, silly. Pavel Vozenilek 23:16, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all lists, especially POV nonsense like this.Gateman1997 19:37, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Does that include valuable non-POV lists that you submit, such as List of White Americans? Just want to know where you really stand. -- JJay 19:43, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe all lists of information that is better contained in cats should be deleted, but as List of African Americans and List of Native Americans are being kept for the sake of racial equality I believe it's only fair to have a List of White Americans. To do otherwise is racist IMHO.Gateman1997 19:54, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
