Talk:EE (telecommunications)/Archive 1

Move
Would it be a good idea yet? Or at some point soon to move this article to EE (Telecommunications). Mark999 (talk) 20:48, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I would say no, not yet, ETEW is still here, with EE still not up and fully running yet. Also capitalisation; EE (telecommunications). --  [[ axg  ◉  talk   ]] 21:41, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * We should at least wait until the company name changes, which hasn't happened yet.Rangoon11 (talk) 21:58, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * What about now?  VEO one five 22:42, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the matter should be settled when the 30 Oct comes. --  [[ axg  ◉  talk   ]] 22:45, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

EE
Does anyone think we should have the name changed to 'EE (Telecommunications)'? I think the change is needed as the company is officially called EE. Anasoon212 (talk) 09:38, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it seems the Everything Everywhere name is confined to the footer, with EE as the trading name. PS, as per WP:Capitalisation (as said above, it's 'EE (telecommunications)'. --  [[ axg  ◉  talk   ]] 18:45, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes, the Everything Everywhere name no longer exists. The parent company is now known as EE, as well as the network/brand. Either this article needs to be renamed 'EE (Telecommunications)' ((after the parent company)) or a new article needs to be made for 'EE' (the 4G network/brand). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.74.228 (talk) 19:16, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Everything Everywhere → EE (telecommunications company) – The Everything Everywhere, is now confined to the pages footer with EE now being used as the trading name, for the mobile network. relisting see below Andrewa (talk) 14:48, 4 December 2012 (UTC)    [[ axg  ◉  talk   ]] 18:49, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I would prefer "EE (company)", which is more accurate and also reflects that the company's core activities include things like broadband.Rangoon11 (talk) 18:32, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I was going to add at the end of my sentence, if their were any other disambiguation terms that could be moved. I've changed it to '(company)' due to its accuracy. --  [[ axg  ◉  talk   ]] 18:41, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Then I can support the requested move.Rangoon11 (talk) 18:42, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Relisting without support or opposition. There is no evidence above in terms of policy that the name change has taken popular effect, see WP:official names. In the circumstances such uptake might be rapid, but that's speculation. According to the article the rebranding was launched in September. That's very recent. Andrewa (talk) 14:48, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME. All news sources now refer to the company by this name. This is the name most people know the company by. 212.159.45.2 (talk) 12:07, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Really? There's English Electric, a defunct manufacturer. Also, there's Experts-Exchange, a troubled yet active website. Equal Education is a social movement, but it may be also a company. To be honest, I don't think of "EE (company)" as just one thing only. --George Ho (talk) 22:55, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: And in Australia we have Electronic Enterprises a very well known discount house, two branches within 15 minutes drive of where I live, with some professional lines as well, the Hornsby branch is where I used to buy 15" reels of tape for my 4 track... memories... they don't seem to have a website but there are other organisations by that name that I do see, one in India who use a very similar trademark to the Australian organisation I see. Andrewa (talk) 08:41, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support it has confirmed rebranding to EE, and while the other companies use "EE" as the shorthand/initials, the news sources appear to use the full name for the other businesses. Support moving to EE (Company). Tiggerjay (talk) 08:40, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support but... prefer EE (telecommunications company) or similar as other companies use the EE initials. --Biker Biker (talk) 08:54, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support EE (telecommunications company). George Ho has sufficiently demonstrated that "EE (company)" is ambiguous. --BDD (talk) 18:58, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

EE (telecommunications company) → EE (telecommunications) – Simpler title, like Orange (telecommunications) Unreal7 (talk) 20:16, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose - attempts to increase ambiguity and decrease recognisability in brackets rarely add anything to the encyclopedia. In this case EE (telecommunications) could easily mean EE the technological term not EE the company: In ictu oculi (talk) 10:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Not a great concern. We don't have an article on Execution environment, and if we did, we could use hatnotes. The topic doesn't even seem to meet your standard of "covered by," based on search results. --BDD (talk) 18:10, 29 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Neutral Per WP:D, disambiguators should be precise and similar to those of other articles. Besides this one, only Fastweb (telecommunications company) and Ribbit (telecommunications company) use this term (there's also Melita (telecommunication company)). But this area is a mess. (company) is usually sufficient, though not here. I don't know how many articles on telecommunications companies use the proposed disambiguator. It's almost certainly more than the number that use the current one, but there doesn't seem to be a standard in this field, such as (comics). I don't think the proposed title would do any real harm, and it's concision is appealing, but neither am I seeing a very good reason to move. --BDD (talk) 18:10, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose it is not an Electrical Engineering degree with a specialization in Telecommunications. -- 70.24.251.36 (talk) 05:29, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
