Lawsuit

Adobe Inc. is currently getting sued by the United States Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission. (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/united-states-files-complaint-against-adobe-and-two-adobe-executives-alleged-violations ) Shouldn't this be added? Azenoc (talk) 02:53, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Should "incorporated in Delaware" be added in the first sentence?

I noticed it has been reverted after I made a similar edit on Roblox Corporation. I'd like to open up discussion here to gather opinions, as this sentence is still in articles such as Intel and Nvidia. 333fortheain (talk) 00:26, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

According to CNBC, "more than 60% of Fortune 500 companies" and "more than 90% of U.S.-based companies that went public in 2021" are incorporated in Delaware. The article also points out why this is this is such an attractive choice. Furthermore, the number of corporations in the state is almost double that of its population.

Because "big corporation incorporated in Delaware" is such a ubiquitous concept, while also being quite inconsequential for anything not law- or tax-related, this is hardly ever relevant to mention, especially in the lead or first sentence. I can see a "Litigation" section á la "Big Corp. was sued at the Court of Delaware, its place of incorporation, for ...", but not much else.

In both examples mentioned above, the source is either a financial document or an investor FAQ. I've also seen cases that link straight to the incorporation papers. None of these is a reliable, secondary source that somehow highlights why this is relevant to mention.

Thereby, I stand by my prior opinion that this kind of info should be excluded unless it is highlighted by secondary sources. In fact, if mentioned without the appropriate context why so many companies are Delawarian, this might even be confusing to the reader and should therefore be actively avoided.

Thanks for your response. I also support the option of omitting it from the first sentence after thinking. This is definititely a stylistic consistency issue and it concerns a fair amount of articles (just search for "incorporated in Delaware").

I am also interested in a WP:RFC if this talk page does not garner enough discussion, given how many articles it concerns. 333fortheain (talk) 08:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Federal trade commission action in the lead

This is already covered in the article - in fact it is already covered in the lead. IP editor(s), why are you adding duplicate content? Why should this be mentioned in the lead twice? MrOllie (talk) 23:34, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

It is covered in the lead, history, and criticism sections. It would also appears that the DoJ/FTC lawsuit remains ongoing. Brandon (talk) 00:02, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
