Talk:Mintons

Merge

We are bidden to discuss:

• Firstly, yes we should merge (I regret, when I wrote 'Minton', that the 'Thomas Minton' article had escaped me). However, the nicely illustrated Thomas Minton article is just three lines long and I can't make it any longer. Perhaps someone will.
• Secondly, there is much more to Minton than Thomas Minton as my article suggests. Just as there is much more to Wedgwood than Josiah Wedgwood but not as you would notice from the Wedgwood article.
• Thirdly, I believe the whole Minton - Hollins - Minton story, at least for the time being, would be best told in a single article called quite simply 'Minton'.

I suggest merging Minton into Thomas Minton. There are several Mintons around. I do not think that one of them should hog the bare surname. Maybe there is a case for a 'Minton family' (or similar) article. Maias 11:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

There is no case for merger. The Minton article is about a pottery manufacturing company with the name of Minton and with 200 years continuity of manufacturing world famous fine bone china on the same site. The Thomas Minton article is about the founder of that Company. The name Thomas formed part of the company name for less than forty of those years. NoelWalley 19:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

The merge tag having been dated today, I feel it important to say that I still consider the merger of Minton into Thomas Minton to be quite inappropriate. NoelWalley 15:21, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

The current 'Minton' could be moved to 'Mintons Ltd' while 'Minton' becomes a disambiguation page for all the various Minton pages. Maias 06:00, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

That would be quite satisfactory - leaving the Thomas Minton article as it stands NoelWalley 06:40, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, does anyone else have any further comments? If not, I propose to go ahead with moving 'Minton' to 'Mintons Ltd', making 'Minton' a disambig page and leaving 'Thomas Minton' as is. Maias 23:37, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

No further comment or objection so I am moving Minton to Mintons Ltd. Maias 23:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Roy Minton

Roy Minton is a very famous lawyer in Texas. His grandson, Harry Minton, is also a very good person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.145.176.77 (talk • contribs) 03:49, 1 August 2006

These people don't seem relevant to this article. If they meet the requirements of WP:notability (people), I suggest discussing at Talk:Minton and inviting comment via WT:WPBIO. -- Trevj (talk) 15:47, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
