Merge proposal

As TRUenergy acquired former EnergyAustralia retail business and rebranded itself as EnergyAustralia, we should probably merge these articles. As an alternative, keep these articles separated but rename this article EnergyAustralia (state government enterprise) to talk about the former company existing until 2011, and rename TRUenergy EnergyAustralia.

• Comment Given that EnergyAustralia has a significant history of its own, merging them probably wouldn't be appropriate. But it's fair to surmise that people looking for "EnergyAustralia" are probably looking for its current incarnation rather than its previous one. So I'd support your latter suggestion - add some {{about}} dabnotes for clarity and it should work fine. (Renaming TRUEnergy to EnergyAustralia is necessary because the company has changed its name, from what I can tell - so the EnergyAustralia article is going to have to move.)

• Questions So, to clarify,
  • the proposal is:
    • move EnergyAustralia to EnergyAustralia (state government enterprise), or similar name
    • add some {{about}} dabnotes to the new page
    • get an admin to move TRUenergy to EnergyAustralia over the top of the redirects
    • add some {{about}} dabnotes to the "new" EnergyAustralia page
  • Correct??
  • What sort of "merging" (if any) would/should occur?

• Generally support the revised proposal. The only comment is the sort of merging that should occur is that the 100–year–old history rests with the EnergyAustralia (state government enterprise) (or similar name), and not with the EnergyAustralia/TRUenergy entity that is a subsidiary of the CLP Group. Perhaps the old EnergyAustralia logo would be appropriate to keep at EnergyAustralia (state government enterprise). Rangasyd (talk) 11:20, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:07, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

• Generally support per Rangasyd. Pdfpdf (talk) 12:07, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

• I also agree with Ranga's proposal to restore the old EnergyAustralia logo, which I've uploaded a copy of at: File:Energy Australia old logo.png. Miracle Pen (talk) 16:59, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

• Thank you. There seems to be consensus for moves and no support for a merger, so I removed merger proposal tags and continue with moves per revised proposals. Beagel (talk) 17:13, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
