Hello. I am currently working on an article for the Circuit City brand name and move away from the circuit city corporation and the circuit city stores, inc. companies. If you would like to help please contribute to the article but leave the redirect until it's finished. Thanks! FoxNewsChannelFan
Redirect
I have launched the new Circuit City brand page and have removed the redirect. If you have any changes or more information to add please do. Thanks! FoxNewsChannelFan
John_Reaves, hello I argue since Circuit City Corp. is a new company it should not be with the defunct version. Circuit City stores, inc. is a confusing article to bunch all of the articles in with. I think my you should reverse the edits on the other page. It would make it less confusing. FoxNewsChannelFan (talk) FoxNewsChannelFan
- @John Reaves: I'm just pinging John Reaves here, as that attempt to do so would not have worked - instead of pinging him, you transcluded his entire user page. Whatever title the article or articles should be under, having two articles which are almost complete duplicates is not acceptable. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:41, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Boing! said Zebedee Well I disagree. They are two separate companies. The Circuit City Stores, inc. article is very sloppy FoxNewsChannelFan (talk)
- Maybe there should be two articles, I'm not saying yes or no to that - but they definitely should not copy the bulk of the same content. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:54, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, and please learn how to note your username correctly - if you use {{User:FoxNewsChannelFan|FoxNewsChannelFan}} you transclude your user page here - you need to use [[User:FoxNewsChannelFan|FoxNewsChannelFan]]. The simplest thing to do is just use a standard signature and append ~~~~ to the end of each comment. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:56, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

- Seems like its just a rename, new shell on an old body (that's been brought back to life). -- John Reaves 19:28, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
John Reaves, i think it's a totally new company and should be treated as such. This page should be reserved for the former corporation because that's the history of that brand name. It's not the same. I say since it says successor: circuit city corporation (2016) it's a redirect to the same page which is screwed up. FoxNewsChannelFan (talk) 16:59, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
Improper move??
Where is this pages history? No way this articles tlak page only started this month. -- Moxy (talk) 17:39, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
- I missed the talk page when I fixed a previous botched move. Fixed now. -- John Reaves 19:21, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Writing an article in Spanish?
In case somebody wants to write a Spanish Wikipedia article on this company, I found an article from a Spanish newspaper in Dallas:
- "Circuit City liquidará el resto de sus comercios." Associated Press at Al Día. Friday January 16, 2009.
