::Agree with Cyc's disagree. The other problem is that once we start merging these companies, where do we stop? Gibson Federated has it's own wholly owned subsidiary, Sekkaris Mekwerks. If we merge Gibson Federated into this page, won't we have to merge Sekkaris Mekwerks into it as well?--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 11:50, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

:Cyc, you are correct, the content should be merged here, as this is the parent company. To your point, Mbear, AA and GFB are one corporation, so I would say that it should be together. Much of the content that is on [[Sekkaris Mekwerks]] is duplicated at [[Gibson Federated BattleMechs - (Free Worlds Defense Industries)]], which indicates to me that they should be merged, though I'm open to discussion on that. --[[User:Scaletail|Scaletail]] 23:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

::If the others are merged in, merge Sekkaris in too, the divide between is why we ended up with duplicated info across them in the first place. Much like how I've covered [[Corean Enterprises]] and the format of [[Handbook: House Marik]], overview with paragraphs for each subsidiary is the way to go IMO.

:Since there hasn't been any motion on this (or the other related pages) I've gone ahead and integrated the content from Gibson Federated BattleMechs, Sekkaris Mekweks, and Andurien Aerospace into this page.--[[User:Mbear|Mbear]] 18:56, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

::Good catch. I fix the page structure to make it clearer and fix little thinks in next time.--[[User:Doneve|Doneve]] 18:59, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

:Coming back to this discussion 14 years later! I think the wiki is in a different place now. Since these comments above, we've had the Objective series and numerous additional TROs come out and give us tons of additional info. The pages are started to get extremely bloated. Additionally, they have their own distinguishable histories and a lot of these divisions have their own CEOs and corporate logos, making them look independent in all but name. The new corporation infoboxes being rolled out makes their associations clear. I have already been painstakingly separating some of the other bigger companies like [[Earthwerks Limited]], [[Kallon Weapon Industries]], and [[Corean Enterprises MacAdams-Suharno]], taking great care to make sure the information isn't overlapping. I would like to do it here as well for some if not all of FWDI's divisions. If anyone is seeing this and has any concerns, please let me know.
