- Not too sure what needs verifying, it passes WT:COMPANY and I'll bet the noun definition is attestable. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:57, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
- I don't like the noun def. You can just as well say "My new photocopier is a Canon", "My new photocopier is an Epson", "My new photocopier is a Brother"; I don't think such cites should justify entries for Canon, Epson or Brother. -- Liliana • 23:10, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
- Agree, but "my new car is a Mercedes, Bentley, Ford..." — at least with cars we seem to have such entries. Equinox ◑ 23:55, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
- A better example would be Kleenex. Xerox can be used a synonym for "photocopier", and, as a verb, for "used a photocopier" Purplebackpack89 (Notes Taken) (Locker) 05:50, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
