Rename Google Inc. to Alphabet Inc.?

Why create a new article, according to Larry Page, Google Inc. is replaced by Alphabet Inc., all shares for GOOG will be changed to Alphabet, etc. Google Inc. ceases to exist, it's practically just a rebrand. "Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly-traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights. Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet. Our two classes of shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq as GOOGL and GOOG.", as written on abc.xyz. --YannickFran (talk) 21:29, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Google Inc. is not Alphabet Inc. Google is a subsidiary of Alphabet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by McoreD (talk • contribs) 08:39, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because Google Inc. is still a company which is just a subsidiary of Alphabet and is still a historical company. StudiesWorld (talk) 21:31, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. It's not 'practically just a rebrand'. JoshuaWalker | Talk 21:40, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is all a bit premature. If you actually read the SEC filing, technically Alphabet Inc. is a subsidiary of Google Inc. until the merger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.217.32 (talk) 21:48, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alphabet's company type?

Should it be noted that the Alphabet restructing hasnt fully finished yet, and is not yet publicly traded? But the header should still have the Traded as portion. Am I mistaken? Dxvin (talk) 03:50, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed

We're all getting ahead of ourselves. Alphabet is still a subsidiary of Google (rather than Google a subsidiary of Alphabet). The restructuring was just announced hours ago hasn't happened yet. This article is describing future events is past or present terms. Just because there was an announcement, doesn't mean it has happened. The stock swap GOOGL/GOOG stock swap hasn't even happened yet. Although, as we speak, Google is probably transferring assets into Alphabet to prepare for the stock swap, which should be considered current events. Tcrow777^Talk 06:00, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Talk about grasping at straws. And we wonder why we're not attracting new editors. JoshuaWalker | Talk 08:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work correcting the article, but I think the Process section has the definition of "merger all wrong. A merger is when two or more companies disband and fold their operations into one new company. This is a different kind of corporate restructuring that doesn't meet the definition of "merger." Tcrow777^Talk 09:15, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the SEC filing uses the word "merger," so this is all very confusing. Tcrow777^Talk 09:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In popular culture section

This section about hooli.xyz and Silicon Valley TV series may be arguable as a relevant section for Alphabet. Some editors may opt to keep it adding some more relevant focus or link to Alphabet. Some others may prefer to delete it altogether. Your opinions are very much appreciated as this is becoming a very much frequently visited page (around 8000 views on its first day of creation and counting) for obvious reasons. werldwayd (talk) 10:19, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Move the info to another section. Per WP:TRIVIA, the section needs to go, but I'd like to see the info moved. Tcrow777^Talk 10:31, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the section was titled "Easter eggs" earlier before I retitled it "Trivia". I am renaming it for now as "In Popular Culture" instead. I thought Easter eggs was an even more odd term to keep on the page! Naming of section can be amended, but calling it Easter eggs was unacceptable. Once we agree on relevance of content, the title may be further amended werldwayd (talk) 10:39, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The section is still a stub. "In popular culture" isn't quite right either, because Alphabet isn't being referenced in pop culture, but rather Alphabet is referencing the series in the easter egg. "Easter egg" is actually a more focused name, and is better than either "trivia" (meaning misc. info) or "in popular culture." Tcrow777^Talk 10:59, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

abc.xyz redirect

Presently our page Abc.xyz forwards to the page Alphabet Inc. But is there a way to also redirect a page to be named abc.xyz (with a non-capitalized A) to the same Alphabet Inc. page, as the URL is written as abc.xyz and not as Abc.xyz ... And as a curiosity how would people in general know the company, as abc dot xyZED or abc dot xyZEE ? The mind boggles... werldwayd (talk) 10:35, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All MediaWiki mainspace pages must begin with an upper-case letter (unless the first character is not a letter). Example: abc.xyz. Only articles with the {{lowercase title}} template can display a lower-case first character, but it's really upper-case behind-the-scenes. Tcrow777^Talk 10:48, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In plain English: it's already done and they are the same page. Tcrow777^Talk 10:51, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Protection Required

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Alphabet Inc.. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
