Shouldn't this article be just 'Thomson Corporation' according to normal Misplaced Pages naming conventions? Would anyone object if I submitted it for an exchange with the redirect page? ] (] 16:02, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC) |

Thomson's predatory moves to buy and control as many local newspapers as possible, then to bolster ad revenue while squeezing as many underpaid journalists to work without adequate compensation, are responsible, in part, for the emasculation of Canadian (and other) newspapers. Why wikipedia would have an entry about Thomson Corporation but not Thomson newspapers is beyond me. ] (]) 14:53, 30 August 2024 (UTC) |

:The ] state that ''official names'' can include "The". '''The Thomson Corporation''', including the definite article, ''is'' the official legal name of the entity in question, as stated in corporate filings on EDGAR () and SEDAR () (note that for EDGAR you do have to search for "Thomson Corp"), whereas those for, say, Microsoft Corporation do not include a "The". Therefore I propose to move it back. ] 03:41, 28 July 2005 (UTC) |

:: The word "the" is ''never'' a ''mandatory'' part of a corporation's name; no law office on the planet would tell you that "The Thomson Corporation" isn't legally the same thing as "Thomson Corporation". I really fail to see how the word "the" actually makes a meaningful enough difference to merit an exemption from normal naming conventions, but I'll put it to an RfC. The proviso being that ''no'' move takes place until the RfC has completed. ] 03:56, 28 July 2005 (UTC) |

::: I work for a division of Thomson. Whenever the word "Corporation" pops up, so does "The". (If you want an example, check out the .) I'd strongly support a move back to "The Thomson Corporation". ] 10 Oct 2005 |

:"The" is sometimes preferable (see:], ], and ]) but I don't see it as so here. Even the prefers just using "Thomson" for itself and its subsidiaries. Use "Thomson Corporation" for article name and '''The Thomson Corporation''' for first reference. ] (] 04:43, 28 July 2005 (UTC) |

:I'd agree with DoubleBlue here, a good rule of thumb would be asking if this was in the newspaper or put on tv how would its name be printed, I double many people would put "the" in front of Thomson Corp anymore then they would put International Business Machines in place of IBM IMHO ] 00:34, August 30, 2005 (UTC) |
