Tattersalls

Company name. Equinox ◑ 15:04, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

It's claiming to be an uncountable common noun, which is clearly bollocks. I'm in favor of direct deletion, let's not worry about WT:BRAND (unless some actively wants to cite it; entries don't cite themselves). Mglovesfun (talk) 15:07, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes - In the UK, this is a part of a racecourse. Most people don't realize that it is also a company name. I would keep it. SemperBlotto 17:00, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Keep per SemperBlotto.--Dmol 21:19, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Really? If that's true, I'd keep it, yes. Mglovesfun (talk) 07:51, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Yep, but can somebody provide the citations for this sense? Equinox ◑ 17:21, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

I suppose that by "somebody", you mean me - OK, but give me a little time. SemperBlotto 17:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC) - three cites added - that wasn't too difficult, was it.

None of them really shows me that it's a generic term and not merely a mention of the company: "Tattersalls, adjacent to the County Stand, has no seating..." could just as well be "Sony, halfway down the high street, sells televisions", and so on. But if you're familiar with the races and sure about this, I won't kick up a fuss! Equinox ◑ 17:46, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

I watched the 2000 Guineas from Tattersalls last year. I didn't know it was also the name of a company. Please keep. BedfordLibrary 15:20, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Kept

Striking as RFD kept. Already striken by Mglovesfun, it seems. For keeping: SemperBlotto, Dmol, BedfordLibrary. For deletion: Equinox. Unclear, but seemingly for keeping: Mglovesfun. The entry contains only one sense, this one: "A rendezvous at most British racecourses, provided by a company of auctioneers". --Dan Polansky 12:23, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
