Talk:Esat Digifone licence controversy

Merge?

Alright, given the pretty clear consensus in the AfD discussion for a merge, does anyone have some suggestions for targets?--Yaksar (let's chat) 06:16, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I strongly disagree that there was consensus for a merge. As I suggested, this article should be renamed Esat Digifone licence controversy, per my comment at AfD; its less POV, closer to the actual name of the company in question, and is not arbitrarily linked to any involved individual. A general search in Google throws up plenty of potential material for a stand alone article. RashersTierney (talk) 01:44, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Looked like a pretty clear consensus to me. Three specific "merge" opinions is sufficient, unless you wish an RfC here as well. Collect (talk) 11:40, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Merge to Michael Lowry seems best? Collect (talk) 11:42, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

And why not at Denis O'Brienor Moriarty Tribunal. I see no need for a merge nor a clear primary article to which to link to in any event.This is as yet an underdeveloped article, but there is no evidence that it must remain so. RashersTierney (talk) 13:02, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

• Yaksar starts a merge discussion. First person who shows up disagrees there should be a merge. He then contacts everyone who said Merge in the AFD. He claims he did not contact the three that said keep because one had already posted here, another he didn't feel participate in the discussion, and the other he simply forgot. [1] He has now gone and contacted the one he claims he previously forgot, after I reminded him, and I have contacted the remaining keep voter. I believe this was an attempt at canvassing. You should always contact everyone, unless they already know about the discussion of course, not just find a reason to call over those who agree with your point of view.

I agree that each person ought to have been notified, not just five, as I am a strong supporter of the CANVASS rules. Collect (talk) 13:13, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Dream Focus seems to be ignoring the two other Keep commenters I actually did comment to. I did forget one of them, so that I apologize for. Other than that, everything else was fine (should I really have contacted the editor who was already involved in the discussion? I do know that Dream Focus likes to derail merges, but this is not the right way to do it.--Yaksar (let's chat) 21:02, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

You contacted one person who said Keep, Emerald ire, who hadn't edited Wikipedia in a week, and probably won't ever bother again. You contacted 4 people who said Merge: Golgofrinchian, Bagheera, Skomorokh, and Collect. Things didn't go your way, so you contacted some people, while specifically ignoring two others who had said keep. In the future try to remember to include everyone to avoid the appearance of canvassing. Dream Focus 22:45, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Anyway, moving on from all that jazz...--Yaksar (let's chat) 01:32, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Rename

Again proposing article be renamed to Esat Digifone licence controversy as outlined above. Any objections? RashersTierney (talk) 22:53, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Fine. Done. RashersTierney (talk) 17:39, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
