According to CFI "To be included, the use of the company name other than its use as a trademark (i.e., a use as a common word or family name) has to be attested." スカイプする (Sukaipu suru) gets 50K web hits and 4 book results... Can we call this a -suru verb? Haplogy (話) 01:17, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- In retrospect it seems like a clear case so maybe I should've just deleted the proper noun section right away and added the common noun and -suru verb myself... I've added them just now. I cheated with the quote however, so if anybody can quote a use of it before this year that would be fantastic. Haplogy (話) 08:32, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: スカイプする generally means to have a video chat. If you use Skype as a sound-only free phone, you say 電話する or 通話する. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 01:29, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
- Keep: If anything, just delete the sense of the proper noun and move it into usage notes, like what the entry skype has done. --kc_kennylau (talk) 17:57, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Kept the common noun. Deleted the proper noun. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 13:49, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
