Merge discussion

There's not much here. I suggest this article be merged with the article about this store's parent company Trans World Entertainment. Objections? Recommendations? Suggestions? --Brendanmccabe (talk) 01:08, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

One user took it upon himself recently to add information that about the former trans world ceo, information that details his tenure there that should be included on his own page or the parent companies, minor store closings, peacock language, and a (class action) lawsuit with allegations that are not to be included with out more information like a response from the court or a verdict. 67.246.33.174 (talk) 21:33, 6 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello 67.246.33.174, and thank you for coming to the talk page to discuss this. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Retailing/How to write about retailers, it is entirely valid to include details about lawsuits (pls see section Criticism and/or litigation) and store closings (section Corporate Affairs). Also consider that for the lawsuit I took care to use the verbiage of "was accused", and "alleged" so as to not imply guilt in any way. If you would like to suggest a different wording such as "was sued" or "is involved in a court case" etc, I am open to it. Mr. Higgins is likewise a valid part of the article, as he was the founder and an integral part of operations. This can be seen in hundreds of other retail articles such as Sears and Macy's and McDonald's. As for peacock language, please point out what passage you find that to be and I would be happy to discuss that, too. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 13:00, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
