Talk:Herbert Allen Jr.

Merge
Please merge this article with Herbert A. Allen and do an article on his father, who ran Allen & Company, Inc. before him. Samantha of Cardyke (talk) 15:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge having been suggested 8 months ago, and notice properly given 3 months ago, without objection being made, i will carry out a content and history merge. Herbert Allen, Jr. having more main-namespace lks, and being the more active and more complete (tho slightly younger) article, i'll merge to it, without any intent of prejudice to a later rename. --Jerzy•t 05:12, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

History Merge Complications
The problem with history merges is that the resulting history is often confusing: when the timing of the two sets of editing overlaps. (In this case, the overlap began in June 2006 and will end with the history merge.) (The following will be a mess until edited further; when it's finished, i'll strike this sentence thru, and sign the remaining sections.) --Jerzy•t 05:44 & 06:38, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Columbia Pictures
His associate & apparently buddy Donald Keough (ex-CEO of Coke, i think) spoke of Allen's heading Columbia Pictures, which i think is not recognized in our article on it, nor in our bio of David Begelman (who apparently brought the whole CxO suite down with him). Post-Cohn Columbia: Into the new Hollywood in the Film Encyc'ia discusses. --Jerzy•t 07:25, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * allmovie's Columbia article also discusses it, in their last 2 'graphs (c. 1973). --Jerzy•t 07:40, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
