This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. [see below]

Information to be added or removed: Replace all references to "5LINX" with "5LINX Enterprises, Inc." including the article's title

Explanation of issue: There are 2 5LINX entities. The 5LINX referred to almost exclusively in the wikiedia article refers to 5LINX Enterprises, Inc. which was founded in 2001. This company ceased operations and was dissolved years ago. The legal entity, 5LINX Enterprises, Inc. no longer legally exists.

In 2016, 5L Holdings purchased all the operating assets of 5LINX Enterprises, Inc., including but not limited ot the tradename "5LINX".The Wikipedia article is using 5L Holdings' tradename to refer to 5LINX Enterprises, Inc. I propose that all references to "5LINX" be replaced with the defunct entities proper name "5LINX Enterprises, Inc." to avoid ambiquity and confusion.

A also propose publishing a second article using our trademark "5LINX" that would contain content about the current company legally operating with the dba 5LINX.

References supporting change: Here's the Better Business Bureau url showing that 5LINX Enterprises, Inc. is out of business: https://www.bbb.org/us/ny/rochester/profile/multilevel-sales/5linx-enterprises-inc-0041-66002480 Here's the Better Business Bureau url showing that 5LINX Holdings, Inc. is company currently operating as 5LINX: https://www.bbb.org/us/ny/rochester/profile/multilevel-sales/5linx-0041-235993313

Hi! For the article title to be changed, you'd need to show that 5Linx is no longer the WP:COMMONNAME of the former company – which at the moment it seems that it is. If you want to start a page about the new company, you can do so at 5Linx Holdings. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:34, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
