Full company name edit
The full company name of Prudential is Prudential Public Limited Company, NOT Prudential plc (see their entry at Companies House). This should be reflected as the first thing in the lead, as per MOS:TM#Multiple, changed, and former names, which reads "Regardless of the page title, the lead sentence of an article on a company or other organization should normally begin with its full legal name" (this section was recently moved out of WP:NCCORP).
I've tried to follow these guidelines, but a couple of editors keep reverting without reason. Strugglehouse (talk) 11:59, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Those guidelines are under the heading Multiple, changed, and former names. Companies do keep changing their names. E.g. when Hotel Chocolat went public, it changed from a limited company to a plc. The guidelines say we should refer to the current name, not the former name. They are not saying we must follow the exact formatting found in their filing. Prudential call themselves Prudential plc throughout their legal materials and elsewhere. That is how they are listed on the stock markets etc., but yes, their form with companies house spelled out plc in full. Yet the shortened "Prudential plc" is 10 times more common than the written out form, and, importantly, is the current name of the company. Plc or Public Limited Company is stylistic. In the same way we might say Mr Smith and not insist that he is really Mister Smith, so too Prudential plc == Prudential Public Limited Company. We are not breaching the guidelines in abbreviating, and Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. Let's call it what they themselves and everyone else calls it. Prudential plc.
