| Aug 6, 2014 at 1:02 | comment | added | Anon | By the same argument; the Canonical Tag should be taken out. There is clearly a distinction between a general company with no official relation, and a Canonical Partner. | |
| Aug 6, 2014 at 0:59 | comment | added | Braiam | "Company tags" like microsoft or the now-defunct google were clearly useless or wrong in most situations: tag sets like [javascript google chart] and [vba microsoft excel] were classic examples of someone trying to type out a product name complete with spaces and getting tripped up by the way tags are parsed, while in many other instances the tag was just redundant: visual-studio doesn't really need a tag to indicate who makes Visual Studio, nor does android need one to indicate it's owner. | |

| Aug 6, 2014 at 0:41 | comment | added | Anon | @Braiam The question does not address the issue of Canonical Partners who would have a vested interest in seeing a tag introduced for their own, and their user base's benefit. As pointed out; the prospect of these types of tags allow vendor representatives to subscribe and respond directly and authoritatively. | |
| Aug 6, 2014 at 0:35 | comment | added | Braiam | The question is generic for all brand/manufacturer tags. That includes Google, Dell, Toshiba and System76. | |

Qualified that the tag is regarding not just a manufacturer like toshiba, but an actual Canonical Partner.

| Aug 6, 2014 at 0:21 | comment | added | Anon | @Braiam That question spoke of Toshiba, which is not a partner of Canonical. The answer given was Who would filter using it? Who would think this is an expertise area? -- In this case; System76 would be the answer to both of those. I will edit my question though to make it less similar. | |
