The content of Timeline of Yahoo was merged into History of Yahoo on 18 October 2025. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the History of Yahoo article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the subject of the article.

Merge proposal from Timeline of Yahoo

Latest comment: 9 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

MERGE

The result of the discussion was merge as unopposed, I'll replace it with the sandobox version given. FaviFake (talk) 11:23, 18 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

I suggest merging Timeline of Yahoo into this article, History of Yahoo. The content is largely duplicative, and where it isn't, I think a merge would more helpfully show the full scope of the topic. (As a bonus, it would also help address how outdated this article currently is.) I mocked up what this could look like in my sandbox here, merging in content from Timeline of Yahoo that was missing in History of Yahoo. (You can see a diff of this from the current article here.) The merged article is around 5,200 words, well below the 10,000 limit suggested at WP:SIZE.

Please note I have a COI: Yahoo is a client of my employer, Porter Novelli. Mary Gaulke (talk) 01:40, 17 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
