propose move
Propose page move to Cabinet Entertainment, with Paradox Entertainment linking there. CapnZapp (talk) 07:12, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

I second this motion. --JFP (talk) 06:24, 12 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Should really be Cabinet Group, see company page: http://cabinetentertainment.com/index.html As you can see, Cabinet Entertainment is a division for film production. This wiki article is really about the consumer products division "Cabinet Licensing", but I don't propose that as a name.
 * N.B: At the time of the purchase of Paradox Entertainment, the press releases talked about "Cabinet Holdings", but such an entity isn't mentioned on the company page, not now at any rate. CapnZapp (talk) 23:05, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved to Cabinet Entertainment &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 14:25, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Paradox Entertainment → Cabinet Group – That's what the company calls itself, apparently. Turns out "Cabinet Entertainment" would not be appropriate, since Cabinet is using that name for a different division than the one the article is mostly about (owning and licensing IP) Edit: The company seems to call itself Cabinet Entertainment CapnZapp (talk) 23:13, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose original proposa - Don't know whether article quality is relevant to this, but the article might need some work. Onto the proposal itself, I searched "cabinet group" and found the usage too broad. The current title helps identify the company. --George Ho (talk) 04:21, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Thank you for your input, but what do you propose instead, then? The fact is the company has changed names (or rather, the new company has bought the old one). Perhaps you didn't look too closely at your own Google searches on "Paradox Entertainment"? I did - the first one is an interview of an employee of Paradox Interactive - yes Paradox Entertainment was mentioned as a previous employer, but that's unsurprising since the name change is rather recent. The other search yields comic books from 2011; again from before the name change.
 * The only other name I can possibly think of is Cabinet Entertainment, but did you visit their home page? They are rather specific about that name being used for one out of two "divisions" of the company, specifically not the one that once was Paradox Entertainment but the one about film deals.
 * Please don't just oppose when that leaves us with no path forward. Do you agree we need to move away from the current name, George Ho? CapnZapp (talk) 07:14, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I found Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studio, but I guess they are separate entities. I did check the official site; I see that the company was founded in 2014. Nevertheless, WP:NAMECHANGES says use the newer name if newer sources use the proposed title. However, the proposed name is not easy to find.
 * Newer sources:
 * "Paradox Entertainment":
 * "Cabinet Entertainment": Acquired Paradox Ent.
 * I added terms alongside "Cabinet Group", like "Paradox", "The" and/or "Swedish". I came up empty. Results using "cabinet group" refer to mostly political news articles. As long as newer sources use the current title, not the other, I'd still oppose the proposed one. George Ho (talk) 07:46, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I found "cabinet, entertainment", which refers to furniture. Also, Geekdad uses "Cabinet Entertainment". So does Christian Post. Weak oppose "Cabinet Entertainment" as less often used name for the company. George Ho (talk) 07:56, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment. Again thank you. However, I read your "newer sources". Two of them concern the "wrong" Paradox (the company that makes computer games - it's still called Paradox, but Paradox Interactive). Two of them were printed BEFORE the name change (the Deadline article you found of the press release is from May 2015). The only source of yours that actually is newer than this (as far as I could see) is the Hollywood Screenwriting Directory reference. However, I tried the link. The site "Paradoxent.com" is hosted by the new site. I submit that this is merely a directory and that it is simply not up to date. Again, not contesting your opinion - merely commenting upon your sources. CapnZapp (talk) 16:56, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Here are a few links that I found using google (limited to one year old results):    They're all press releases about upcoming products, but they mention the company in the small print at the end.
 * Found press release and article from Kickstarter and one from Gamasutra. Though sources are scarce, I changed my vote to no objections (or weak support) toward "Cabinet Entertainment" for now. --George Ho (talk) 03:48, 26 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Support I don't mind a move to Cabinet Entertainment (Disclosure: I'm the move nominator) CapnZapp (talk) 09:22, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Language Links
Currently, the Polish Languange (Polski) Hyperlink directs the user to Paradox Interactive page. It's misleading. I don't know if it's the case for othet Languages, so I ask for it to be checked if possible? 89.229.88.122 (talk) 03:15, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not the case for the other languages. As for Polish Wikipedia, it does not have an article on Cabinet Entertainment, and Paradox Entertainment is only a redirect to Paradox Interactive. You will have to engage on Polish Wikipedia if you want to improve this situation. Cheers! CapnZapp (talk) 06:40, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
