Crunchyroll LLC → Crunchyroll (entertainment company) – I want the article to be fixed by moving the topic from LLC to an entertainment company so that I can first correct the comma in the initial part, and even though, having requested the move, there has been a confusion in the Google search between Crunchyroll and Funimation, I would like to the situation between the corporation (Funimation) and an entertainment company (Crunchyroll) should be resolved and so many unnecessary disambiguations or redirects created by various users should be deleted. 179.53.57.51 (talk) 22:39, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: I don't really understand the description of why the nominator thinks the article should be renamed. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:36, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

  Because the editor who moved the draft to the page was missing the comma in the initial sentence without any consent while waiting for the migration of these contents is completed before the original anime streaming service to be sunset, for that reason I request this transfer again to be able to correct all this. 179.53.57.51 (talk) 03:20, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

  So you're saying you think this should be moved to Crunchyroll, LLC? — — Preceding unsigned comment added by BarrelProof (talk • contribs) 05:00, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

  Not that one, I mean the name change of this article that I'm looking for to fix it with. 179.53.57.51 (talk) 05:00, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

  I still don't understand what you are trying to say. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:24, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  What I'm trying to say is that the user who requested via Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests misspelled the mention of this article and I want this to be corrected by simply moving to the new article by just following the example here or maybe it doesn't work. 179.53.62.174 (talk) 05:40, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  I know that, but it's another thing to move. 179.53.57.51 (talk) 20:00, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

  What is another thing to move, and why? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:24, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  If you will notice that I search and look at numerous articles here on Wikipedia, the times that the editors have written a topic by name, opening and closing a parenthesis dedicated to an entertainment company or companies (such as Amazon (company), The Orchard (company) or this for example Concord (entertainment company)) but the user who requested through Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests has misspelled the mention of it without already knowing when it suggests an idea to split two relative pages I should write Crunchyroll (entertainment company) instead of merge and all unnecessary redirects created under a topic is totally a mess. 179.53.62.174 (talk) 05:33, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

• Strong oppose clearly an ambiguous name, there being Crunchyroll, Inc., a different topic that is also an entertainment company, and the original company named "Crunchyroll" (this LLC company was formerly Funimation) -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 05:29, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
• Comment Crunchyroll (disambiguation) should be created to describe the difference between the LLC and Inc and the streaming service -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 22:33, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

  This is a bad idea to create a disambiguation of different articles like that, I think that moving directly from the original Crunchyroll LLC article to the new Crunchyroll (entertainment company) page is the only solution that must be not only corrected, but more or less compared with similar pages such as Amazon (company), Concord (entertainment company), etc. 190.167.41.183 (talk) 00:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose; as noted above, "Crunchyroll (entertainment company)" or "Crunchyroll (company)" is ambiguous since there also existed a separate company called Crunchyroll, Inc. Plus, using the legal suffix for disambiguation is explicitly allowed by WP:NCCORP and it does have precedent in entertainment (Roku, Inc., Home Box Office, Inc., etc). I am not opposed to creating a disambiguation page (heck I've even suggested this idea before). Link20XX (talk) 03:44, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

  What is "Crunchyroll, Inc."? There is a redirect by that name, but the article that it links to does not contain that phrase. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

See Talk:Crunchyroll#Crunchyroll,_Inc._/_LLC. ;; it is the former operating company of the streaming service. -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 22:38, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment: According to the WP:NCDAB in point 3 which says about disambiguation in parentheses, adding a disambiguating word or phrase in parentheses can work, similarly a legal status, adjunct or other suffix is ​​used when an ambiguity is eliminated, it is obvious that I understood this part in which, for a key reason, how this article is corrected in order to avoid comparing them both topics related to two companies or corporations and streaming services (I mean this and this) in Google search. 190.167.41.183 (talk) 05:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
• There is also a "Crunchyroll Ltd." (formerly "Manga Entertainment") which can be described with the same proposed disambiguator, which is a subtopic at Crunchyroll UK and Ireland, being the operating company name of the UK/Ireland operations, making it yet a third entertainment company with the same name. -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 22:33, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose: The proposed name is ambiguous, as there seems to be about 8 different entertainment companies currently or previously called Crunchyroll that are discussed on Wiipedia. That doesn't even count the mysterious "Crunchyroll, Inc." which is currently not mentioned anywere on Wikipedia. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:38, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

  And what do we do? We leave the issue of moving the article like that, that's how the article would look as if the parent company really is a trend on Google and nothing more. 190.167.35.193 (talk) 02:40, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Crunchyroll LLC → Crunchyroll (entertainment company) – See: MOS:ALTNAME. It's been weeks since the page didn't move because no consensus was reached due to no one understanding me what I was trying to tell you about such disambiguations this and that, but i saw that my idea it didn't work and now I'm requesting a new move to reverse the creation of this article from whatever was trending in Google search, any ideas please help me. 190.167.168.130 (talk) 06:30, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

• Procedural speedy close – The same suggestion was rejected in an RM less than two weeks ago. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 09:45, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
• Speedy close. I'm starting to get sick of Crunchyroll/Funimation move requests. O.N.R. ^(talk) 11:20, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
• Speedy close; 100% agree with ONR above; at this point the only move request for this page I would consider is Crunchyroll LLC vs Crunchyroll, LLC (note the comma). Link20XX (talk) 15:51, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

* Strong keep: hey come on, everyone knows that my suggestion about the topic was rejected in a RM two weeks ago, it was due to a lack of understanding towards all of you, because I can't think of anything else but to use my head with only me reading the style manual, and the title of this page must be followed by the first sentence by one or two alternative names in parentheses, and this to make it clear that Crunchyroll is still trend in Google search as the parent company being listed and compared to another company of the same name than Funimation, the corporation of this same (which is currently in the process of merging with the service) and I don't know what the hell I found that I reported it several times through Google itself on the two search topics, it is because I try to reverse those two corporate names or whatever they are called. 190.167.168.130 (talk) 20:50, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

• You can't vote twice, your nomination already counts as a vote. TheBigBookOfNaturalScience 📖 (💬/📜) 21:05, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

• Speedy close. Already posted not too long ago and also unnecessary. Kevin ^Talk 22:48, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose since this fails to disambiguate (see Crunchyroll (disambiguation); various other entries there would also qualify as "entertainment companies"). Agree with speedy close rationales. And frankly I think most or all of these things could be merged as sections into a single article anyway.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  04:00, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 14 October 2023

Can someone intervene the Crunchyroll LLC page that was targeted and revert to the last revision of this, the truth is that it does not seem to me that Crunchyroll is a subsidiary company instead of saying that this is a limited liability company and rename the current one to Crunchyroll (entertainment company), thanks. 179.53.54.149 (talk) 05:49, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

 Partly done: Unsourced edit reverted. Obviously, I'm not moving the article to a different title considering the two requested move discussions above. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:58, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 14 December 2023

Why Crunchyroll LLC article appears property of Sony Pictures Entertainment (Sony Pictures Television) and Sony Music Entertainment Japan (Aniplex), a division of Sony Group Corporation and three references were added back to the sentence and the section was also added at the end of the bottom, the anime distributors involved and the portal that were also eliminated by several IPs if the streaming service of the same name is already owned, anyway, the article that I read in the opening sentence is a disaster and It should be partially reverted to the last stable edition of the user as you see here because the IP cannot edit on the page due to the protection that by the way expires before Christmas begins, thank you. 190.167.25.249 (talk) 06:10, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Question: It is unclear what you mean or what the merit of this change would be. Please present the request in more clear and concise wording. Ertal72 (talk) 22:39, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Confusing History

Crunchyroll existed before it merged with Funimation. The history section only cover's Funimation's founding and history and doesn't mention Crunchyroll until the partnership was announced in 2016. My memory is kind of fuzzy on exactly how it went so I would have to do some research, but this should be revised. The current state of the article simultaneously implies that Crunchyroll was and wasn't ever its own entity. Thesixthstaff (talk) 17:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

This article is about Crunchyroll, LLC, the company formerly known as Funimation Global Group, LLC. Prior to the acquisition by Sony, Crunchyroll's parent was Crunchyroll, Inc. (formerly Ellation, Inc.), which is an entirely different company and thus a unique topic that this article does not cover. Link20XX (talk) 19:23, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes. Crunchyroll LLC which is the same Funimation that brought the entire Dragon Ball series to North America. So you are correct. Imperial meter (talk) 04:05, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Ellation still exists and is operated as a subsidiary of Sony.[1] If you look up "Ellation LLC" online, they are the holders of the Crunchyroll trademarks as evidenced by the promotions. Imperial meter (talk) 20:19, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
