I honestly see no point in keeping this articles name as Marvel Toys if the legal entity primarily did business as ToyBiz. I'll give this decision a weeks time for everybody to voice their opinions, and if the majority are not against this then this article will be renamed back to ToyBiz.

Toy Biz – ToyBiz is not only the common name of this legal entity, but they have primarily conducted business under the ToyBiz brand. The brand name Marvel Toys does not provide as much search results about the legal entity as ToyBiz does, alongside that, rights for Marvel Toys were transferred over to Hasbro just under a year after the name change from ToyBiz to Marvel Toys.

If the sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match. If, on the other hand, sources written after the name change is announced continue to use the established name, Wikipedia should continue to do so as well, per COMMONNAME.This means that we need to look at how often the term ToyBiz was used in a non-historical context to describe the subject of the article.

If, on the other hand, sources written after the name change is announced continue to use the established name, Wikipedia should continue to do so as well, per COMMONNAME., which means that the most recent name of the other two may not be relevant.

Sometimes, the subject of an article will undergo a change of name. When this occurs, we give extra weight to sources written after the name change is announced.Are you just doing a normal Google Search or have you changed the parameters so that only the results form the name change date are shown?

I've done a lot to try and source this article properly, but in some cases the information just doesn't seem to be available (info around WWE and licensing to Hasbro). At what point do we either cut down this info significantly or remove it completely? For all I know the info could be completely incorrect. Balle010 ( talk) 01:08, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
