Banque Canadienne Nationale and National Bank of Canada are not the same company. BCN merged with the Provincial Bank to form NBC, as is indicated in the article. BCN was marketed in English-speaking Canada under its French name, Banque Canadienne Nationale, and not under any translation. "Banque Canadienne Nationale" translates as "National Canadian Bank", not as "National Bank of Canada". The CSD is profoundly flawed. Consideration could be given to merging this article with the NBC article, although I would disagree with that, but the existence of BCN as a separate entity from NBC makes this CSD in violation of the CSD rules. Please remove the CSD tag as soon as possible. Ground Zero | t 21:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ground Zero is correct, although BCN's official English name was Bank Canadian National. BCN and the Provincial Bank were probably the chartered banks that did the best job of serving small and medium businesses in Quebec outside Montreal and Quebec CIty, so they competed vigorously against one another before the merger. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 21:57, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the prod tag because the National Bank of Canada article does not deal with BCN in the same way as this article. This was an incorrect use of the prod tag. Again, an argument could be made for merging with the NBC article, buit not for deleting. Ground Zero | t 20:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
