[edit] Renaming
Just a heads up that the merger is almost final. SEC approved the transaction, so the last step is that Euronext shareholders have to vote in a few days (with approval almost certain.) So we will need to rename this page in a few days to NYSE Euronext, Inc.. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 23:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Uh, about renaming the New York Stock Exchange article to be NYSE Euronext. I am flatly opposed. The New York Stock Exchange is an historic institution. It's building is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. The purposes served by having an entry on the New York Stock Exchange for wikipedia readers are numerous. It suffices to have a separate article about the current parent corporate owner of NYSE, nyseEuro-whatever, as a separate article. doncram 22:38, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with Joseph. First and foremost, NYSE refers to the financial institution and therefore, the article should reflect that. Now that the NYSE has merged with Euronext, the article must reflect the change. However, it is perfectly reasonable for the merged article to still contain information about the historic building as it does now. Cmcfarland 05:39, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose One must be clear that the New York Stock Exchange is an independent stock exchange, with a long heritage and still functions as a trading floor and listing place independent of the Euronext exchanges. On the contrary NYSE Euronext is a holding company that owns several stock exchanes. Each of these stock exchanges should have seperate articles, since they have their own trading and their own heritage. For most exchanges in the world, just their heritage should grant them an article, yet alone if they remain as independent floors. For that sake, if sufficent large amount of content was provided, there is nothing wrong with having a seperate article for the New York Stock Exchange building. Arsenikk 11:40, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Fine. I change my stance to agree with Arsenikk. The current structure of the article with links to all the companies within the holding company is fine by me. Cmcfarland 20:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

- Oppose Separate corporate entities, dissimilar histories, different things entirely. Real-life merger does not necessitate a Wikipedia merger. Paul (talk) 17:37, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose I agree with Paul. -- Typewritten (talk) 15:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose Mergers aside, I feel the independent article is important for historical/archival purposes. Toczko.c (talk) 19:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
