The result of the discussion was: delete. I have made a new List of corporate mergers as the info may yet be useful as a list.– Fayenatic London 23:21, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • You can go on almost infinitely, that is exactly the point of the nomination. Yes, the history section will of course mention how the merger(s) took place, but the mere fact that the company was formed by merger is not something worth mentioning. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:19, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not the history section, it is the lead: where the most important characteristics of the company are stated, nearly all of which have corresponding categories. Your deletion nomination lacks any basis in policy, and could you please provide evidence to back your (almost certainly erroneous) statement that "most notable companies have emerged by merger(s)."? UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:21, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete this is too vague, and isn't a defining attribute for many of the companies. I'm interested in suggestions for a re-phrasing that gives a more specific criterion for membership. (also, regardless, all the company subcats should be removed) User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 23:01, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@: given that maintenance is preferable to deletion, could you give me some examples of articles that should not be in the category? I'm happy to update. And I agree with removing the company subcats; have started doing so. UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:23, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@UnitedStatesian: There's a thin line between "companies formed by merger" and "companies that have made acquisitions". Clearly the second one is too common to be a defining attribute. Looking at Dear U as one example, I don't see how there is anything important about a merger. On the other hand, for Air France–KLM, it is a holding company founded as a merger as explained in the lead. Perhaps "only when the entity is notable as a holding company rather than an operating business" could be a workable cutoff? The other idea I've had is to "sub-categorize by decade of the merger" - if the decade of the merger isn't important, then it probably isn't a defining attribute. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 21:30, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@: I don;t believe the line is that thin, and of course Dear U should not be in the category; I have removed it and am happy to remove any others that do not belong. To your "by decade" point, note that we already have all the subcats of Category:Mergers and acquisitions by year, though of course only a small number of mergers and acquisitions result in the formation of a new company that would be categorized here.
