Nazi collaboration section

The section on Nazi collaboration is interested and seems accurate, but contains almost no sources for 3 years. Can someone please add them immediately to avoid deletion of this text. Ashmoo (talk) 13:22, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 28 April 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Bosch (company). This alternate proposal has a clear consensus. (closed by non-admin page mover) Lennart97 (talk) 16:13, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Bosch GmbH → Bosch
Bosch → Bosch (disambiguation)

– The company is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the name Bosch. I would also be fine with moving it to Bosch (company), but the name "Robert Bosch GmbH" is virtually unknown. I think it is somewhat comparable to the situation with Siemens, where the company also has the primary meaning with long term significance. PhotographyEdits (talk) 13:53, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Hieronymous Bosch and others would disagree. Bosch should go to Bosch (disambiguation). Walrasiad (talk) 17:30, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Added move of associated dab. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 19:37, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Exactly, Hieronymous Bosch and others would disagree. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:35, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose moving the disambiguation page. Support renaming Robert Bosch GmbH to Bosch (company). I had to check to be sure it was the same familiar Bosch brand. older ≠ wiser 20:53, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think we just want to use Bosch (company), and then to place that section at the top here, because it seems from https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Bosch that readers do find the two home appliance topics of the most interest. --Joy (talk) 07:57, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've made the changes to the disambiguation list to this effect now. --Joy (talk) 08:04, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Bosch (company), or maybe Bosch Corporation as mentioned above. I see its a natdab but I think the full title is unhelpful in this instance, Bosch (company) is clearer. --Quiz shows 22:29, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Bosch (company). Easily its common name over Robert Bosch GmbH. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:26, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I understand that people do not support moving this page to Bosch, but how about making Bosch the WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to Bosch (company)? The statistics confirm that this is the most popular article about the subject "Bosch". PhotographyEdits (talk) 12:40, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I would agree with you were it not for Hieronymus, who is rather famous! The company is not primary over him. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:04, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  @Necrothesp Fair. I have changed the disambiguation page order to reflect this by moving both of them to the top. PhotographyEdits (talk) 13:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  I think that's a tad too much, though. --Joy (talk) 11:12, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think that we now have a consensus that this page should be moved to Bosch (company) and that the disambiguation page should stay as-is (although the link order was changed). PhotographyEdits (talk) 13:32, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's some problem with the history section: it jumps from 1944 to 2001. Comte0 (talk) 09:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
