marketing overemphasis

Far too much of this page is crowing about use of the Marlboro brand in auto racing. This section needs to be summarized and reduced by ~90%. Any demand for such trivia can be satisfied by direction to an appropriate fansite; if no such site exists, then the trivia certainly doesn't belong in a Wikipedia article.

Agreed, I came here for information on the company's full range of cigarettes (whether current or discontinued), and the article doesn't even mention things like Southern Cut or 27 blend, but has a thousand lines on racing. Interesting information in its way, but unlikely to be why people search for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.77.145 (talk) 00:37, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Marlboro (cigarette) → Marlboro
Marlboro → Marlboro (disambiguation)

– Primary topic per pageviews; also has long-term significance as the top-selling brand worldwide. 162 etc. (talk) 07:49, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support, the cigarettes dominate page view with 100x more views than the next most popular page. There's a lot of entries on the page, but most are towns with populations less than 50k. I think it's clear the cigarette is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC anyways by long-term significance.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:49, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose too many geo articles. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:59, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Clear primary topic. None of the settlements are anywhere near as well-known as the cigarette brand. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:51, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per points above. The brand is far better known than any place name. BD2412 T 05:23, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom - none of the places with this spelling are prominent. It would be a separate discussion, but I would consider merging the DAB with the Marlborough (disambiguation) page. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 19:04, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose this primarytopic takeover for a brand name over place names. Better to disambiguate. Dicklyon (talk) 04:15, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
