:::I imagine the rule should be if they made a tie-in deal with paramount or not. If they paid to use ''Star Trek'' then they're in the same class as McDonalds or Esurance and they deserve an article even if the extent of the partnership was very modest.

Revision as of 16:24, 21 November 2015

Merge?

As far as I can see, the company and its product just "used" the image of the Enterprise in their add. Should this be listed at Star Trek parodies and pop culture references in the section "Other parodies and references"? There are several other examples listed on this article about tv spots and ads making use of images from Star Trek. Tom (talk) 15:33, November 21, 2015 (UTC)
