Article describes a marketing phenomenon relating to the familiarity of shorter brand names and nicknames. However, the subject of this article does not appear to exist. WP:BEFORE searches showed nothing relevant aside from Wikipedia mirrors, references appear to simply be examples (such as a patent trademark for "Coke"), and the titular "Nia" (apparently referring to the National Institute on Aging) does not mention the effect at all. The person credited for coining the Nia effect in the article is a "Georgian marketeer Giorgi Pirtskhalava", but the link is a Georgian football player, and most importantly, the user who made this page back in 2009 was User:Giorgi2000.

• Delete This doesn't appear to be a real "thing". all I find are La Nina sources (for the weather thing). This is a bunch of random facts strung together in an attempt to make an article. The National Institutes on Aging is a health related webpage and does not mention this at all. Oaktree b (talk) 02:47, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

• Delete as I can't find any indication that this is a real phenomenon and not some sort of hoax or attempt at self-promotion. Doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG in any case. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 20:22, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
