White-Westinghouse

I removed the entry for White-Westinghouse from the licensor listing and added it to the list of prior companies. I can't find any reference to its current existence in Google. In any case, it is very unlikely that it would be licensing its name from CBS, as it was spun off many years ago. Jkatzen 07:22, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

the name White Westinghouse for home appliances is indeed used by licensees in several countries. Electrolux seems to use the myriad of other brand names it has acquired in the US. i won't change the article no sense in starting an updating war.

Westinghouse spun off its large appliances, small appliances, and home entertainment lines in the early to mid 70s, and the name was licensed at that time for use as White-Westinghouse for some large appliances. I believe White-Westinghouse has long since been absorbed by a European conglomerate that also bought up other appliance brand names. I guess the bottom line is that the licensing was done 30 years ago and wasn't part of the post-merger sell-off in the mid 90s.

Westinghouse-named schools

Quite a few public school buildings have been named after George Westinghouse. In fact, a separate Wikipedia disambiguation page for them already. I believe it would be appropriate for a reference to be placed on this page to point to that page.

Disambiguation purpose

Disambiguation pages disambiguate Wikipedia articles. If there's no article to disambiguate, there is no need for an entry here. If you'd like a list of licensees, create a Wikipedia list, List of Westinghouse brand licensees or somesuch. -- JHunterJ 10:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure the disambig tag belongs at the foot of the page. The page is, to my mind, less a disambiguation page, and more a short article about things names after George Westinghouse. Opinions? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 18:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
