Talk:Motor Trend Group

Change to MotorTrend?
It seems that the company and its publications are currently styled without a space as MotorTrend Group and MotorTrend Magazine. I’d like to gather feedback on whether the relevant articles should be updated to reflect this before making the change.

Thanks!

 * So, I did some research, and I believe that the legal name is spelled with the space: "Motor Trend Group, LLC" in Michigan, for example. "Motor Trend" often becomes "MotorTrend" in the copy of company material, which might be more of a "stylized as" name. If this is the case, the lead could begin with:
 * Motor Trend Group, often stylized as MotorTrend Group, formerly known as . ..
 * If that is true, the question then remains, is "MotorTrend" the correct spelling for the title due to WP:COMMONNAME, just like iPhone and eBay? That would make sense to me, and in that case, I support the move. Michipedian (talk) 14:34, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

suggest merge
If I understand correctly what I've read on the Source Interlink and Motor Trend Group articles:
 * The "distribution arm" of Source Interlink shut down in 2014.
 * The "publishing arm"Motor Trend Group was renamed "TEN: The Enthusiast Network" (not sure when) and then renamed again to "Motor Trend Group" in 2018.

Are there any other "arms" of this company? If not, then I suggest the entire Source Interlink article be merged into a "History" section of the Motor Trend Group article. --DavidCary (talk) 09:32, 11 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Support — I support this merge and tagged both articles. Grorp (talk) 00:11, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
