Tecalemit-Kilfrost-Sheepbridge Stokes → TKS – TKS is a registered trademark and thus should be defined as TKS, not the three companies that came together to form TKS, Tecalemit-Kilfrost-Sheepbridge Stokes.

TKS is already an article title, so the article cannot be moved there. Please see TKS (disambiguation) for a list of other subjects that also use this abbreviation. Wikipedia does not name articles based on trademarks, please see WP:TRADEMARK. - Ahunt (talk) 19:50, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CAV Ice Protection (talk) 21:17, 29 October 2014 (UTC) TKS is the company name. The acronym is short for Tecalemit-Kilfrost-Sheepbridge Stokes; however, that is not the company name. Would you suggest something like TKS (aviation) instead? The current link is a re-direct although that could change and be the Article title.[reply]

I am a bit confused. The company website http://www.kilfrost.com/ says that the company name is "Kilfrost, Inc." or am I missing something there? - Ahunt (talk) 20:27, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The way I understand it, Kilfrost was one of the three companies (together with Tecalemit and Sheepbridge Stokes) that formed TKS, whose full name was "TKS (Aircraft De-icing) Ltd.", according to the Kilfrost website. My suggestion of an article title would be either the long name or "TKS (company)". The TKS (aviation) redirect to the section on the de-frosting system, which seems also to be known by that initialism, should probably not be changed, though the section on the system should include a link to the article on the company.

Tecalemit-Kilfrost-Sheepbridge Stokes → TKS (company) – TKS is the name of the company. As Huon suggests, the article title should be TKS (company). The full name of the three companies which founded TKS is only that and was never the name of the company. Kind regards, CAV Ice Protection (talk) 15:57, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
