[edit] Category:Apple Computer

Apple Computer dropped "Computer" from its title, and has been known simply as Apple Inc. since January 2007. --Dream out loud (talk) 05:12, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Propose to move to Category:Apple Inc. (computer) or Category:Apple Inc., USA as there can be other Apple Inc's or other Apple companies over the world. --Foroa (talk) 09:32, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I would go for Category:Apple Inc., since it is unambiguous as of today. If another company arises with the same name, I guess they should get the disambiguation suffix (unless their apples are really good). --Eusebius (talk) 17:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

As a general rule, I think that company (and brand) names should always contain a disambiguation since there is just too much overlap (Bleu, Orange, Trust, Apricot, Pinnacle, ...) and no international rules that forbid to use the same name in other countries.

Another preference I have that there should be no priorities who carries or not a disambiguation term, except some exceptional famous exceptions, such as Rome, Paris, London. Experience shows that most contributors that want to use a specific name find "their" name the most important, and the name that carries no disambiguation collects all the items as people tend to use the first name that corresponds.

While Apple computers is well known, Apple Inc is less known and as can be seen in en:Apple (disambiguation) and connected disambiguation pages, many things can start with Apple. There are some web URL that ressemble apple-inc that are not related directly to Apple Inc. --Foroa (talk) 09:46, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

With both Category:Apple (disambiguation) and Category:Apple Inc., would there be a real problem? It seems consistent with most of what you say. --Eusebius (talk) 10:43, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Closing discussion. Category renamed to Category:Apple Inc.. -- User:Docu at 12:55, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
