They distract, cheapen & take away from the actually sculpt IMO.

I think a nameplate cheapens the look of the statue. If the producer of the statue wants the name on it, I prefer it be painted on or sculpted into the base. The same applies if the character has a symbol. Another option as opposed to a nameplate that looks good is some type of pewter letter design.

Nameplates work with certain sculpts, and don't with other sculpts. For example, I think nameplates make the Rogues Gallery busts look more original, and it stylizes them.

I dislike nameplates on statues. They just are not necessary and detract from the piece, overall. In fact, I have not bought really good sculpts specifically because of the nameplates.

I agree. I have seen sculpts that I thought would be nice if they didn't have the name plates.

it doesn't seem that anyone likes them - I wonder why they continue to be added?

I have to add my 2¢ to the resounding "no" here. Nameplates/logos are a major criteria when I am considering a statue/MB for purchase. I much prefer statues without a nameplate or gaudy logo. Printing something on the underside of the base is fine, but let the sculptures speak for themselves!

Not a fan either. There's a different if the base itself would be their logo, but nameplates not so. I think Electric Tiki does theirs ok but still a bit to big sometimes to be distracting.
