This page appears to be a duplicate of the existing Square (financial services company) article. I propose that the article be reverted to the redirect that it was prior to 1 February. Chrisclear (talk) 18:07, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to Square (financial services company) because this is just a duplicate of it. ThePremiumBoy (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 07:55, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- The company has changed its name. The page should have been moved to the new title instead of copy-pasted at the new title.— Diannaa (talk) 15:30, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment As nominator, I agree with ThePremiumBoy, that Block, Inc. should redirect to Square (financial services company). Chrisclear (talk) 16:37, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect per nom - DownTownRich (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, and then move the Block article to this title, which will leave the redirect around the other direction. W Nowicki (talk) 19:11, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect because it is a duplicate.Fulmard (talk) 19:28, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect Square (financial services company) to Block, Inc. (and I mean this title) since Square, Inc. has already been renamed to Block, Inc. The article's title should reflect to the company's current name. 20chances (talk) 14:02, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment @20chances: Do you mean (1) Redirect Square (financial services company) to Block, Inc. or (2) Move Square (financial services company) to Block, Inc.? Because if you are advocating for (1), the outcome is that a (a) lot of content from the Square (financial services company) will be deleted and (b) the page history for the surviving Block, Inc. article will only start in December 2021.

- Redirect to this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TzarN64 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. While I agree with the redirect !votes above in principal, it appears this company has indeed changed its name, so this article should be deleted, and then Square (financial services company) should be moved to this title. The page should simply have been returned to a redirect, and then Moved. This is a cut and paste move, and should have been handled without coming to AfD. If an admin takes a look at this I might suggest a speedy close, since this is all housekeeping at this point. Onel5969 TT me 21:57, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment In principal, I agree with most of what you have written. Furthermore, I agree that Square (financial services company) should be moved to Block, Inc., to reflect the name change. However, in practice, that move was proposed on 14 December and (unfortunately) rejected on 21 December. There is also a practical consideration as to what the article should be titled, eg. Block, Inc. or Block (financial services company) or Block (company) or something else. Chrisclear (talk) 09:47, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
