Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of companies named after people. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100226234042/http://www.canon.com/about/mark/origin.html to http://www.canon.com/about/mark/origin.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

How about a list of companies named after people who were not the founder?[edit]

For example, Tesla, named after Nicola Tesla who was not the founder of the car company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:185:8280:2240:BF27:B72A:F9AF:2E36 (talk) 03:07, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
