Stryker

Two senses. Suspect both would fail WT:BRAND. Equinox ◑ 22:35, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

All Stryker stretchers even the generic ones are called Strykers by medics, they are the full featured fancy ones basicallyLucifer 22:42, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

And are you kidding me about the second sense? Do you not watch the news, Strykers are not really a brand, they're the current generation of armored war machine used in Iraq and Afghanistan, like abrams tank or osprey.Lucifer 22:53, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Maybe. But "someone on the Internet says that medics say it" is not verification. Three citations meeting CFI are needed. Equinox ◑ 22:46, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

I think SemperBlotto did in fact find several, I had originally titled this stryker since it's how we tend to spell it but semper contested that as all the cites he found had it capitalized, we went through the same pattern with Ferno, the Stryker's cheaper cousin used in public health whereas the Stryker is expensive and used in private health.Lucifer 22:53, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

You know they were really really easy to find, what did you put in the search box when you decided to nominate here? I was able to find dozens of citations for both senses.Lucifer 22:42, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't saying the word didn't exist. I was saying it needs to pass WT:BRAND. Please read that page. Equinox ◑ 23:01, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Is it really a brand name though? It's used for different products from unrelated companies, and with direct reference to the stretcher or vehicle and not the unrelated companies. Both have entered the lexicon anyways so they should pass. This is shown in novels or memoirs of the war the mention the vehicle and educational materials that mention the stretcher.Lucifer 23:12, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

This term is verified 6 times over and I move for it to be stricken.Lucifer 08:51, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Meh, kept. Raise this at RFD if you dispute that the citations meet BRAND. - -sche (discuss) 23:40, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
