Should we move this article to Salvatore Ferragamo Italia? Most Italian company pages do not have SpA or S.p.A. in the WP title. Certes (talk) 17:42, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest the

WP:COMMONNAME would simply be Salvatore Ferragamo, but the man is already there. To be honest, given that ambiguity I think I prefer having the SpA in the title, to make the distinction clearer. The other option, which in fact is what most of the other Italian fashion company articles do, would be to merge the company and the man into a single comprehensive article - 80% of the information is common to both anyway. I'm mildly in favour of the merge to be honest, but in the meantime I've largely rewritten this article, in particular stiffening it up with some references. Although it deperately needs some pictures of the actual shoes themselves. One bit I've not touched is the list of stores, which could be argued is a bit too "list-like" for Wikipedia.

If people don't want to merge, we could move the company article to

Ferragamo, which is currently a redirect to the designer. This would be following the precedent of Gianni Versace and Versace, although in that case the company is pretty much only ever referred to by the surname of the designer. I'm not that bothered either way. FlagSteward (talk) 19:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply

Sounds like the simplest and best solution to me. —Ian Spackman (talk) 07:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
