Requested move 20 May 2024[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. While no formal !votes were made, discussion found editors roughly agreeing that since this is about the product we should continue to use the product name. (closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal (talk) 21:02, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TOPS System → Total posterior spine system – I don't believe WP:ACROTITLE is suitable, most RS seem to introduce by the full name first, and the abbreviation seems to be ambiguous with at least some other uses. There are a few possible title options though, and I'm less sure about the case. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:17, 20 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 11:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

@Alpha3031, do you happen to know whether this is a trademarked name? (If it isn't, then it probably shouldn't have the company's name at the start of the first sentence.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:23, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't seem to be a registered trademark but the company seems to be using it as one. I am leaning towards removal though, so I might do that. Alpha3031 (t • c) 06:08, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WhatamIdoing yes, it appears to be a trademark (https://premiaspine.com/topstm-system/is-tops-for-me/) 89.208.135.49 (talk) 15:41, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the article is about the one thing by the one company, then we might as well stick with the name they use for it (compare: iPhone). If there are multiple companies with multiple products, we should find a more generic name (compare: smartphone). WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WhatamIdoing totally agree. this items appears to be like iPhone and it's not this is not a general term but a specific device with an exact registered name. 2A06:C701:9C4D:4300:D49D:7CE9:C68C:204C (talk) 12:09, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
