This article was nominated for merging with Time Warner on 26 November 2014. The result of the discussion was do not merge.

This article by itself is useles....I call for this article to be merged with the Time Warner article.--Stdjsb25 22:18, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, Warner Communications was heavy influential in the 70s and 80s and deserves its own article. warpozio 23:01, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Time Warner IS Warner Communications, post Merger. There's no reason tha this can't be part of the Time Warner article --Stdjsb25 07:34, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, there are a lot of bigger/small record labels which are aquired by the Big Four group. If we start working like that, 90% of those aquired labels can be merged as well... warpozio 09:41, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There's a difference.....those are record labels....this is a multinational corporation that was merged with another company to form another. This history as a whole needs to be there instead of as a seperate article. --Stdjsb25 04:18, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Time Warner article is focused nearly entirely on that entity and contains very little information about predicesor companies. Warner Communications really defined how Warner became a global giant and deserves its own article. I will say that both the Time Warner and Warner Communications articles are quite bad. The Warner Bros. Entertainment article is better, but ignores much of the sideline business elements.

I agree with Warpozio, giving Warner Communications a separate page verifies that it was an industry leader in "old" media long before the merger took place, which is important to recognize... it wasn't lke the company just got big after the merger, it was a mainstay of entertainment and media in this country for decades before.

I also say to create separate articles largely because Time-Warner has subsummed a lot of independent companies, and and talking about each and every company now under the Time Warner umbrella in the Time Warner article would create a huge and unwieldy article. DC Comics has a separate article, for example. But if you think there isn't enough information for a Warner Communications article, I'd suggest merging it with Warner Bros. Entertainment, at least.

I propose that Warner Communications be merged into Time Warner. I think that the content in the Warner Communications article can easily be explained in the context of Time Warner, and the Time Warner article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Warner Communications will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. 190.90.189.54 (talk) 16:40, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
