Re: "A POI's signs follow American livestock branding practices: way 659462130" - I don't understand this sentence. I see that the linked POI is a "Circle K" but not the famous brand "Circle K" for gasoline / convenience shops. --Jeisenbe (talk) 00:32, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

@Jeisenbe: This was a reference to the not:name=Kenning’s K name=Kenning's Circle K. The steakhouse is evoking cattle ranching by using a "circle K" cattle brand as its logo. Someone unfamiliar with cattle branding would understandably call this POI by the wrong name based on the sign visible at [1]. The resemblance to the Circle K chain is purely coincidental; I don't think that chain was named according to cattle branding convention. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 09:50, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Could you reword the sentence to be more clear? E.g something like "The sign uses a symbol rather than spelling out the whole word: for example, this restaurant is named "Kenning's Circle K" not "Kenning's K". It is evoking cattle ranching by using a "circle K" cattle brand as its logo: <link>" --Jeisenbe (talk) 16:56, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
