Comment this is a improperly formed multimove request -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 06:22, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Strong oppose Merck & Co. is clearly the primary topic -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 06:28, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Laughable. Thkafra (talk) 06:37, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Your claims are laughable. Equating the United States to Monaco? Russia to the Maldives? North America is larger than Europe you know. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 04:01, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose no primary topic, not in Google Books at least. Suggest early close as malformed. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:18, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, mostly as no evidence is provided and also as malformed multi-page move request. older ≠ wiser 13:41, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The discussion of this malformed multi-page move request is also taking place at Talk:Merck KGaA, and I suggest that it should primarily take place there, since most of the discussion thus far has taken place there. My reasons for opposition are expressed there. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:28, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: clearly no primary topic, this is what dab pages are for. (As a retired librarian "Merck" means the Merck Index to me, anyway!). PamD 12:45, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I see no reason that any meaning listed at Merck should be considered the primary topic. Merck should remain a disambiguation page Merck KGaA should not be retitled. -- Ed (Edgar181) 21:34, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
