Editing Talk:Warner Bros.-Seven Arts (section)

== Merger proposal ==

I think I would propose a merger of [[Warner Bros.-Seven Arts]] with [[Warner Bros. Pictures]]. Technically, the W7 era of WB is considered part of the studio's history and it’s not considered a separate company than the WB entity that existed until 2003 with the TWEC reorganization changing everything.

* '''Comment''' I'd suggest moving some of the text to [[Early history of Warner Bros. Pictures]] instead.  That article covers Warner Bros. as an independent studio, while [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] mostly covers the period when it was part of a larger media conglomerate.

*:'''Comment:''' Agree with this idea, it is a more better decision. [[User:VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004|VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004]] ([[User talk:VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004|talk]]) 16:36, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

'''Oppose''' :I digress. Warner Bros. Seven Arts was a separate company created from the merger of Warner Bros. Pictures Inc. and Seven Arts Production. The company didn't just see the Warner Brothers film studio, but it also saw the numerous other Warner Bros divisions along with record labels.

:'''Comment:''' But when Kinney National took over W7, it was rebranded to Warner Bros., Inc. which was considered the legal successor to the W7 entity from 69 to 2003.

* '''Oppose''' per nomination. [[User:Achmad Rachmani|Achmad Rachmani]] ([[User talk:Achmad Rachmani|talk]]) 16:11, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
* '''Oppose''' it is a major but short stage between Warner Bros. and Warner Communications [[User:Warpozio|warpozio]] ([[User talk:Warpozio|talk]]) 13:46, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
* '''Support.''' This is a very short chapter of Warner Bros.' history (2 out of 103 years), and there's no evidence anything particularly notable happened during this period.  It's best covered in [[Early history of Warner Bros. Pictures]], since it's still part of the period when Warner Bros. wasn't part of a larger media conglomerate.

* {{u|TheFloridaTyper}}, {{u|Achmad Rachmani}} & {{u|Warpozio}}: Do any of you have thoughts on the alternate proposal of moving content to [[Early history of Warner Bros. Pictures]]?

** '''Support''' due to short span of history. [[User:Achmad Rachmani|Achmad Rachmani]] ([[User talk:Achmad Rachmani|talk]]) 00:31, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
**:I still find it unnecessary to merge Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. Granted, the W7 page could benefit from several rounds of expansion (Which I'll carry out), but that doesn't mean it needs to be merged. The early history of WB implies narrative focus only towards the filming division of Warner Bros. Entertainment. Maintaining separate pages properly ensures each page can properly oversee the full scope of their specific topic.  <b><span style="font-family:Oswald;color:black">—</span> [[User:TheFloridaTyper|<span style="font-family:Oswald;color:maroon">TheFloridaTyper</span>]] ([[User talk:TheFloridaTyper#top|<span style="font-family:Oswald;color:black">talk</span>]])</b> 10:21, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
**::[[Early history of Warner Bros. Pictures]] is really the early history of Warner Bros. Pictures Inc., and includes discussion of all of the film, television, and music activities up to 1966.  [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] is film-specific and really covers the period starting in 1969.  Yes, these article have weird overlaps, and I've been trying to fix that by finding and resolving the content forks.
**::That being said, if you significantly expand this article, it may change my !vote, but keep in mind this discussion has been open for almost three months now.
