Merge[edit]

How about merging Duke's Lemonade and Duke's Mangola into this article? -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 10:24, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pepsico is a different article from Pepsi so is Coca-Cola and The Coca-Cola Company. Duke's competitors from the 1980s, Gold Spot, Citra, Limca and Thums up are all separate from Parle/Coke as well. I think they are best kept separate. Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 10:32, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pepsi is long enough to hold its own space. So are Coca-Cola and Thums up. I dont see why even Gold Spot, Citra (India) and Limca are seperate articles. But Gold Spot & Limca being part of the giant article The Coca-Cola Company, they cant be merged. I guess Citra (India) may have been left seperate as all Parle products on one page is just a big jumble. (Although i dont see them currenly there or no where, as a matter of fact.) But Duke and its products are managable on one page. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 10:53, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We dont just merge articles because they are small. IMO, Lemonade and Mangola are notable enough to have their own articles, they will expand in time. Around The Globe^{सत्यमेव जयते} 12:31, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

well....ok. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 17:26, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Dharmadhyaksha:, @AroundTheGlobe: I’ve WP:BOLDly merged the articles to this article. It’s been over 10 years and the articles had not expanded enough to justify them not being merged. Sahaib3005 (talk) 16:09, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
