[General] It is said to be colgate/a colgate.

[arjitsharma]

Which one is correct?
1. It is said to be colgate.
2. It is said to be a colgate.

Is a context where I don't have to add an article before noun.

If you're talking about toothpaste you don't want an article.

And you would have to use a capital C: "Colgate."

However, if you're talking about a person who is presumably a member of the Colgate family, you can write:

"He is said to be a Colgate."

What's the wider context? I am afraid that the sentences don't make that much sense without some explanation.
