Merge discussion for Voyages-sncf.com

[edit]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Voyages-sncf.com , has been proposed for a merge with another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going here, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. Tk420 (talk) 17:57, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I proposed this merger because Rail Europe rebranded itself as Voyages-sncf.com in Europe in December 2013 which was when I learned that Rail Europe and Voyages-sncf.com are the same company. The North American, Australian and World sites however still use the Rail Europe brand. After moving the Rail Europe article to Voyages SNCF I discovered that there was already a Voyages-sncf.com article on Wikipedia. This article is only a stub but it has an infobox and more references but I think it is too short to be a separate article. Tk420 (talk) 17:57, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. We have concerns with your merger of Voyages-SNCF into the Rail Europe article. As Rail Europe, Inc. serving the North American market, we need our brand to appear to our customers when they are searching for us. Since the merger of these two articles, when performing a search on Google, we now have Voyages-SNCF associated with our brand as the wiki page is being added to the organic listing. This is creating much confusion with our customers and we kindly ask that you un-merge the pages and edit the Voyages-SNCF page accordingly. We appreciate you tending to this matter immediately. 64.212.69.214 (talk) 17:53, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tk420, I would suggest to roll back the article as it was before your "rebranding" edit on February 1st. Because as it is since then is false information. The page > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyages_SNCF does not refer to a "brand" neither a "product" as Voyages_SNCF does not exist (but Voyages-SNCF.com does, I mean that the .com is part of the name). The content of the article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyages_SNCF) is clearly "Rail Europe" focused, and this belong to the history of the company "Rail Europe" that still exists, or at least has been existing. From my perspective the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyages_SNCF should be rolled-back to its state of February 1st as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_Europe (and definitely updated with a rebranding section). Then the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyages_SNCF could be deleted (I repeat "Voyages_SNCF" like that does not even exist). Then we could update the Voyages-sncf.com accordingly. If that makes sense to you, please let me know I can help on improving the Voyages-sncf.com as I did some edits on the FR version a while ago. --Hespéranope (talk) 18:47, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rail Europe and Voyages-sncf.com must remain seperate articles. The merge is misleading. --Arauris75 (talk) 06:49, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with the two previous comments above...--87.65.56.47 (talk) 09:14, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A separate article for Rail Europe, Inc. was created by User:RailEurope2014 on 6 March 2014 concentrating on the American agency still trading as Rail Europe and User:Jim1138 created a disambiguation page for Rail Europe on 18 March 2014. I would still suggest merging Voyages SNCF with Voyages-sncf.com with the resulting article concentrating on the Europe based agency. Tk420 (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your explanation TK420. Your suggestion sounds good to me, as long as the disambiguation page keeps the separation clear. Thank you.--Hespéranope (talk) 13:36, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
