Pronunciation[edit]

I have assumed Bombardier was pronounced the same way as the military bombardier, that is Bom-bah-deer. However I have seen a reference to it being a French-style pronunciation: Bom-bard-ee-air. Can someone clarify and perhaps add the pronunciation with a reference? TiffaF (talk) 19:15, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bombardier Transportation → Alstom Canada – Different name. 76.71.120.76 (talk) 18:11, 12 May 2021 (UTC) -76.71.120.76 (talk) 18:11, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Bombardier Transportation as of 29 January 2021 is a defunct company, and this article should be a record of its history. Any events concerning Alstom Canada following that date can be detailed at Alstom, or, if article size eventually becomes a concern, a new article at Alstom Canada. 162 etc. (talk) 18:38, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
With this in mind, I have reverted OP's edit to the article (rebranding it as Alstom Canada), pending the result of this RM. 162 etc. (talk) 18:43, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is "Alstom Canada" still based in Berlin? Does it still have the same international customer base? Will Alstom not merge Bombardier facilities into its own? If Alstom Canada is not substantially the same as Bombardier Transportation, then I would oppose the rename. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 00:25, 13 May 2021 (UTC)*[reply]
  • With the Alstom acquisition of Bombardier Transportation, did any name changes occur? If it's still called "Bombardier Transportation" (and I don't think it did), then it should not be moved. If a new name was created by Alstom, a new article could be made as a successor to the Bombardier article, and links to this article (such as all of the commuter rail networks Bombardier Transportation operated) could be sent to the new article instead. Lastly, if Alstom dispensed with Bombardier's name entirely, and Alstom just directly took over Bombardier Transportation's operations (ie, building people movers and commuter trains, and operating them), then this article should be kept the same, but links to this page from pages describing networks formerly operated by Bombardier Transportation should be changed to be operated by Alstom.

stop making edits without sourcing[edit]

Hey 28CH... please stop edit-warring on this article. If Bombardier Transportation no longer exists as an entity or Alstom unit/brand/make and should be referred to in the past tense, then provide sources for that so it can be verified. —Joeyconnick (talk) 03:43, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
