Post-it Note → Post-it note – I don't think "note" should be capitalised here. QueenofBithynia (talk) 16:48, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Support: No reason to capitalise 'Note'.Move to Sticky note to not use trademark. YorkshireExpat (talk) 17:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)- Move to Post-it. If this article is indeed about the brand, and not the general concept of sticky notes, then it should use the brand name. 162 etc. (talk) 17:26, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Article comes off as still about the notes themselves to me. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:31, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I assume the capital Note is the official capitalisation, i.e. "Post-it Note" as a whole is a formal product name. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:28, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Right, but we typically wouldn't name an article after the product. We don't use titles like Frosted Flakes cereal or Sunlight detergent. 162 etc. (talk) 17:42, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- @162 etc. @Mellohi! see my suggestion above. It is already a redirect. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:29, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

- Comment. Just for informational purposes: There was a previous discussion about moving this article to the title "Sticky note" in 2015, which garnered only opposes. And here is where it was unilaterally moved from "Post-it note" to "Post-it Note" in 2018. Deor (talk) 22:03, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Ok, some good points, some not so good. I think 'sticky note' may be becoming more common, but this may be driven by electronic version of the phenomenon, and it may be true that the 'Post-it' is notable in its own right. YorkshireExpat (talk) 22:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose -- it is a proper noun and part of the brand. --RockstoneSend me a message! 07:46, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- Neutral.
Move to Sticky note per WP:COMMONNAME based on the Google Ngrams.Rreagan007 (talk) 00:41, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- As was noted in the previous move discussion, many of the Ngrams results are due to this. Deor (talk) 02:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- I see. I've changed my vote to neutral, for now, based on this information. Rreagan007 (talk) 07:09, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose. I agree with rockstone35's opinion, these are sold as "Post-it Note" by my googling, so we should not be implying it is more genericness than it is. --Quiz shows 15:42, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
