- Koozie is a registered trademark of Norwood Promotional Products, LLC and use on ths website is an infringement of their intellectual property rights Bicworld33 (talk) 21:18, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose - it is not a trademark infringement to have an article about a trademarked product. – ukexpat (talk) 21:31, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose per User:Ukexpat and WP:COMMONNAMES. Cf. Aspirin, Velcro. — AjaxSmack 00:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- Comment this really should be at a less region-specific name with koozie noted as a variant. Something neutral like Beer bottle holder would be far more appropriate. Hack (talk) 05:32, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose, per WP:COMMONNAME. "Beer koozie" appears to be a genericized trademark. —David Levy 17:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Sugestions for a more appropriate non-regionalised name
[edit]This item is something that would be used all around the world and would be known by a different name in every country. If I asked a foreigner for a 'stubby cooler', they wouldn't understand me. If I then re-phrased my request for a 'koozie' they still would not understand me. If I then asked for 'a sleeve to keep my drink cool' they likely would understand me. We really need a generic name for this article. For the record this is the first time I've ever seen the term 'koozie'. I do find the earlier proposed name Beer Insulated Beverage Container grammatically non-nonsensical though. How about these:
- 'dink holder'
- 'insulated drink holder'
- 'insulated beverage holder'.
