Sounds good on paper (he/him)
Eight wicks and 434 inbounds for a page made in 2010 is pretty bad. I'm in favor of cutting. Since this isn't thriving, we may be able to cut it early if there's enough consensus.

Even beyond the whole "not thriving" thing, I'm having a hard time figuring out why we even have this one. I mean, it isn't exactly on-mission. Cut.

Companies being commonly addressed by the initials is a thing, but it's not a trope, it's just what people always do.

On the behalf of the Corporation for the Usurpation of Tropes, the initialism is CUT.
Kirby is awesome.

Cut. While a common real-world phenomenon, this is probably not relevant to troping, unless there are a sufficient amount of fictional examples, although currently none are listed. And even if it did apply to a fiction-making company, there’s no guarantee it’d be relevant to their works.

Hi! :3

Yep, we got enough votes, so we can waive the three day rule. Time to start cutting.

Note: This thread was proposed by The Mayor of Simpleton (who asked not to be paged).
No wick check because this trope has 6 off-page wicks and most of the on-page ones aren't crosswickable. Also, courtesy link to the original TLP draft

The problem: Obligatory Corporate Initialism is a trope about, per the description, "when a company is better known by its initials than its full name." Since 2010, it has attracted just 6 off-page wicks, and most of the on-page ones aren't crosswickable. I additionally have concerns that this is off-mission for the wiki—very few of the examples relate or are relevant to fiction, and even as Trivia I question whether or not this is a phenomenon worth documenting, given the aforementioned small number of media-related examples.
Possible solution: I recommend cutting this trope. I don't think there's much salvageable here.
What does everyone else think? Any other ideas or suggestions?
