Merge

I suggest that American City Business Journals be merged into Advance Publications, as Advance Publications own American City Business Journals, and neither article has much to say other than they are companies which publish newspapers - this can be achieved quite well within the one article.

Absolutely yes--there is no additional content there. It will mean changing a number of links, of course.DGG (talk) 18:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The publishing industry is a bit different than other businesses in that publishers tend to have a number of imprints (either that they spun off themselves or smaller companies that were obtained through purchase or merger. There is precedent for notable imprints to have their own pages. Advance Publications is certainly notable enough based on it's size and especially the unique publications they produce. If the content in this article is of concern, it should be improved but moving it to it's parent company's page is not the way to fix that.--Rtphokie (talk) 13:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References

Hello. I added a WikiProject and a "citations missing" tag. From my point of view, ok in advance to remove either or both. The rating is low only because I couldn't tell if the "External links" section is the reference section. If that turns out to be the case I guess this is a Start class article already but am not sure. -Susanlesch (talk) 02:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers owned

The list of newspapers is incomplete. Here's the correct list, which is much longer. I don't want to mess up the formatting, but someone should fix it. http://www.cjr.org/resources/?c=advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.244.99.5 (talk) 16:53, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reddit discrepancy

The article on Reddit states that Reddit is independent and in the past a subsidiary of Advance, but Advance is still the largest shareholder, but in this article Reddit is linked as if it were still a subsidiary even though the source cited for this is Reddit's own blog announcing their independence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jurryaany (talk • contribs) 23:26, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Split Attribution

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Advance_Publications was copied or moved into List_of_Advance_Publications_subsidiaries with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Advance Local

@HPLeu: I may be mistaken, but Advance Local is a subsidiary of Advance Publication; which has an endless list here: List of Advance Publications subsidiaries Content for these subsidiaries do not belong on this page, but the individual subsidiary pages. It is not notable to this subject; otherwise, anything that makes the news for these subsidiaries would be open for entry here. Unfortunately, Advance Local does not have its own page; unlike Conde Nast, American City Business Journals, etc. Maineartists (talk) 13:57, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thank you for taking the time to explain. I will remove the info. HPLeu (talk) 14:10, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mergers and/or updates necessary

I think that the Advance Digital and Advance Newspapers articles need to be looked at with an eye to merging (perhaps both into a new one, Advance Local, else a section in Advance Publications?) and updating. I removed some uncited and out-of-date info from the latter, as well as updating this article, as a side-issue in passing, but don't have the time to look into it all.
