Ben's OriginalUncle Ben's – Listing as a requested move for discussion because the bold move from a few weeks ago has proven contentious. The owner of this brand has suggested that they will change their branding some time in the next 1-2 years, but as of this time it is still being actively marketed under the original title, "Uncle Ben's". The timeline for the proposed rebranding is an awfully long time for a megacorporation like Mars to decide to rebrand as something else, or not do it at all. The title of this article shouldn't be changed until the branding has actually changed, per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:COMMONNAME. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:55, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
