US Naming bias

The article talks about the phasing out of the phillips namimg, but this is not the case in the rest of the world, where that branding is still used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.79.205.232 (talk) 14:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

You misread the article. The American name was "Norelco". The present American name is "Philips Norelco." The co-branding is to allow the phaseout of the "Norelco" name in favour of the "Philips" name. Now do you get it? Steelbeard1 (talk) 14:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Philishave is a discontinued brand

Because Philishave is a discontinued brand, articles about discontinued brands are given in the past tense. Pontiac cars are still being driven, but because Pontiac is a discontinued automotive brand, that is given on its Misplaced Pages article in the past tense.

No! Read MOS:TENSE. If the product still meaningfully exists, then present tense is compulsory. Philishave branded razors unquestionably still exist therefore Philishave is (still) a brand that appears on many razors that exist in the world. The manual of style is compulsory policy for editing articles. Going against it is disruptive editing and blockable. 86.146.209.237 (talk) 17:32, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

While it's true that the brand being discontinued does not put it into past tense, I do not see how it can still meaningfully exist fourteen years later. If they're still receiving official support, or if they're part of, for example, a notable current-run TV series, then it could be. Jerod Lycett (talk) 00:27, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
