Merge

This article should be merged into Hallmark Cards because American Greetings appears to be a Public Subsidiary of Hallmark Cards. Let's talk about it. Miracleimpulse 05:26, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Could you provide a source for that? Unfounded, unsourced conjecture does not belong in the article. --Transfinite 18:07, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• At this point, the entire article is unsourced. Miracleimpulse 14:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, I believe you have the wrong article. You are probably looking for Hallmark Cards. --Transfinite 18:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

A clarification: The merge discussion above was originally posted on Talk:Hallmark. Miracleimpulse moved it over here. --Transfinite 22:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Hallmark and American Greetings have already used Misplaced Pages for purposes of mass deception on the Sweetest Day page, is it such a stretch that they might be deceiving everyone further by posing as two companies? Miracleimpulse 04:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm still waiting for any proof, whatsoever, of this conspiracy theory of yours. --Transfinite 05:13, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Let's start with: Over the past several years, Hallmark and American Greetings have issued hundreds of millions of Sweetest Day cards with nearly identical Sweetest Day verisimilitudes printed right on the reverse side of each card. Their websites also sock puppet the same verisimilitudes about Sweetest Day. Miracleimpulse 12:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• That's not proof of anything. Find a WP:RS that shows they have the same owner. Then we'd have something to talk about.--Isotope23 12:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Not proof of anything. Only that they are working in a co-operative manner to fashion the holidays America celebrates, and making big money in the process. Did you know that the former president of Hallmark Brands USA is now president of American Greetings' Carlton Cards? Miracleimpulse 13:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• ...so the guy took another job. Again, for these to be merged there would need to be demonstrable proof that the two companies had effectively the same company due to a corporate merger, etc. Unless you have some reliable source evidence of that there is nothing more to discuss and this tag is an exercise in WP:POINT.--Isotope23 14:39, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• The point being that Misplaced Pages is being used by industry for purposes of mass deception. It has already happened on the Sweetest day page, and it is happening here too. Did you know that the founding president of The Hallmark Channel is now director of The Hatchery, American Greetings' version of The Hallmark Channel? I guess she got a new job too. Or did she? Miracleimpulse 14:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• ...and this supports your merge reasoning "This article should be merged into Hallmark Cards because American Greetings appears to be a Public Subsidiary of Hallmark Cards..." how? You have yet to produce any evidence at all.--Isotope23 15:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• The evidence is everywhere Isotope. Co-creation of fake holidays. Interchangeable presidents. Is your paycheck blocking your ability to see these things? Miracleimpulse 15:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
