Merrill Lynch → Merrill – This page should be renamed Merrill as that is the name of the company. The current wikipedia page with that name is a disambiguation page that should have the word "disambiguation" in it anyways but currently does not. Thunderbolt.wiki (talk) 20:52, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. No showing has been made that the company is the primary topic of the name. If it is indeed primarily known as "Merrill", then it could be moved to Merrill (company). bd2412 T 00:33, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose, Merrill Lynch is still the common name, and Merrill is used as a personal name and shouldn't be primaried to a single company. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:53, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NATURALDIS. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:45, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. Merrill Lynch is still the common name at the moment. There is no requirement for disambiguation pages to have "disambiguation" as a disambiguator. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:43, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per above reasoning. Rreagan007 (talk) 18:50, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Although the BOA renamed Merrill Lynch simply "Merrill," I don't believe the name is the most WP:RECOGNIZABLE to be the title of this article. Czech Republic remains the title of the country even though it's officially now known as Czechia.--Prisencolin (talk) 06:38, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
The name Merrill Lynch is confusing because it previously referenced both the wealth management division and investment banking division of Bank of America, while Merrill solely focuses on wealth management. --User:PTHunderbolt.wiki (talk) 06:42, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
Post-war years
[edit]It's unclear in this section what "that name" and "the merger" refer to. Since the quotation mentions the Beane name, I'm guessing both refer back to the 1941 merger in the previous section, and not the formation of the holding company. Not R (talk) 15:52, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
