English isn't my first language so I may have confused something, but isn't "Overseas" relative to where you live? As in, it may be overseas in North American countries but not in Europe? Apologies if I just misunderstood it :p. Torte 03:15, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Nike is a great product that people dont like because they dont want to actually try the product but if they do they will find that it is a nice product besides the fact that their shoes cost $100.
I believe that there's a confusion between the generic idea of "popularity" in everyday life and the concept of primary topic from an encyclopedic perspective. — In fact, in an encyclopedia, if something should use the "main" Nike name, that would be the goddess. The brand is not only named after her, but it's just that, just a clothing company... This would really mean choosing the lowest possible common denominator, picking a shopping mall over millenia of civilization... Evv 16:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

As a matter of fact, the notion of "turning the concept of popularity inside out" is exactly what I'm complaining about :-) We're taking guidelines established to write an encyclopedia, and applying them to popular culture, widely defined.
The company is very important, of course: important enough to have "Nike" as a dismabiguation page, instead of being reserved for the Greek Nike. I fully agree with having the dab page. But treating the company as a primary topic is going too far.
The Greek Nike remains very well known among people who paid attention to class in their school years, have read a book on Ancient Greece or at least watch the History Channel now and then. – As I mentioned before, having the company as a primary topic means giving more encyclopedic importance to a shoe manufacturer than to Ancient Greece and the Renaissance... I just can't understand it.
These searches are not meant to give clear numbers, but merely to provide a general idea, a broad overview, of how relevant the Greek Nike is:
Google Print searches
Google Scholar searches
Amazon.com searches
Those searches are far from perfect: the first instances are very restrictive, and the second ones include people called Nike and also probably mentions of the company's involvement in Greece. However, please check the returns of the second ones: most are for our deity.
It's not an obscure deity. From an encyclopedic point of view, it cannot be relegated behind a clothes manufacturer. - Best regards, Evv 17:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Dbfirs, Ritvik12, Bkonrad, AadaamS: There's an edit war going on regarding whether or not Nike should be referred to as a brand management company or a manufacturer. While I agree that "manufacturer" is probably not the right term, "brand management company" is definitely not the right term. That description doesn't appear once in the actual Nike, Inc. article, and the term doesn't adequately cover Nike's main business of designing, developing, producing, and selling athletic apparel, regardless of whether or not they actually own physical factories. Wouldn't a term like "designer of..." or "producer of..." be more accurate without getting into the vagaries of who owns what factories? Orange Suede Sofa ( talk) 20:05, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
