List of trademarks featuring African Americans

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable list per WP:NOTESAL. Also appears to be a violation of WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. PROD removed by on the basis that there probably are sources to do with African Americans in trademarks. Google shows that might be the case for the topic in general, but none of the results on the first page mention the three listed here. The topic could probably be created at something like African Americans in trademarks or, less preferably African Americans and trademarks, but I think the list should be deleted for the reasons stated above.

 * Keep It's easy to find sources which discuss such branding and trademarks as a group including entire books: '; '; . The topic therefore passes WP:LISTN. Andrew D. (talk) 12:14, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I also found sources, including some which discuss the specific examples on this list (as do the books linked above), so it would be easy to add sources. There are scholarly articles, such as 'Intellectual Property at the Intersection of Race and Gender: Lady sings the Blues' in Journal of Gender, Social Policy and the Law, and another book, Racist Trademarks: Slavery, Orient, Colonialism and Commodity Culture .
