Merge (2017)

Merge duplicate articles TheMuse and The Muse; We also need to select a title. "The Muse" would suggest it is talking about one of the Ancient Greek Muses, and "TheMuse" seems to fall afoul of Wikipedia spelling conventions. So The Muse (website) would seem to be the way to go. -- 65.94.168.229 (talk) 05:20, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support I am the nominator. I suggest The Muse (website) should be used as the title of the combined article. -- 65.94.168.229 (talk) 05:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Per nominator. Otr500 (talk) 06:26, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Merge, except as a company article, rather than a website article, like how Facebook does it. They have both a company and site with the same name. For more detail about the website, there are two articles: Facebook Platform and List of Facebook features. The main reason for this is that if you make the main article about the website, you can't conveniently include other things like the company history, funding, other products and even the book written by the founder. It just doesn't fit. If you do a company article with a lede that discusses both, and then include a section for the website (again see Facebook) you have more flexibility and better narrative continuity. And of course I'm in no way equating them, but if the company were to become widely known for more than its site, and the site itself also becomes more popular, then you can make a dedicated web site article separate from the company one, as with Google and Google Search. But the company article should come first. Timtempleton (talk) 19:47, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Any additional comments:

Comment the title "The Daily Muse" would then point to "The Muse (website)"; While "The Muse" would point to Muse (disambiguation); and "TheMuse" would also point to "The Muse (website)"; -- 65.94.168.229 (talk) 05:25, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Initially I thought the merge should be to the name of the company but I think it would work as nominated. Otr500 (talk) 06:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lacking any objections there is consensus to merge. This likely would have been uncontested anyway. Otr500 (talk) 11:22, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No company data?

The Muse is not only a website but also a company. Could we see their private/public status and their net worth?
