Talk:Private limited company

Move Limited liability company into Private limited company
I think they deserve to remain separate. these are different entity types and should have a clear distinction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirkchisholm (talk • contribs)
 * I was not proposing to merge the two articles, just to move a section from one to the other. Private limited company is a generic concept found in legal systems of many countries, but the article Limited liability company is about its US-specific implementation. That's why I think that the International equivalents section should be moved into Private limited company and a link to the new location should be placed at the original location.

Let's set up a wikidata hierarchy of these terms. --Vanuan (talk) 15:31, 29 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge. So, the "International equivalents" section, could move to Private limited company to expand what is otherwise just a list; it then becomes a list and summary. Then the "Private limited company" article becomes the top of the hierarchy, from which other country-specific articles can then be linked, as, in most cases, they currently are.

 * The basic source of confusion is that different terms mean different things in different countries. For example, a U.S. LLC and a German Gmbh are close equivalents, while a U.S. corporation is closer to a "private limited company" unless it goes public. And very few countries actually use the term "limited liability company" in their legal statutes.
 * Many people say "limited liability company" but their country actually calls it something else. For example, many UK websites use the term "limited liability company" but that is actually a catch-all term for UK limited company limited by guarantee (Ltd), UK limited company limited by shares (Ltd), or Public limited Companies (PLC). Legally, "limited liability company" is not a valid entity type in the UK. WisTex42 (talk) 12:14, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Technically a U.S. LLC is structured like a partnership with limited liability, and is not a private limited company, which typically has shareholders and a board of directors. A U.S. LLC is similar to a U.K. Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), the main difference being that a U.S. LLC can have one member, whereas a U.K. LLP requires two or more members.

Repeated insertion of a piped link
Why are you repeatedly inserting the piped link? The markup is difficult to read and it produces the same result as. Petr Matas 14:04, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Cause this is the article's name in the Italian Wikipedia. Silver Hawks (talk) 11:29, 18 January 2016 (UTC)


 * That does not matter and the page name in English Wikipedia is identical anyway. I can see no difference except in readability of the wiki markup. Petr Matas 22:16, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Correct the link as you wish if it's better for the page. Silver Hawks (talk) 11:06, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
