Universal Records" are in fact for the 1995-05 "Universal Records (defunct record label)" and not for its parent company "Universal Music

- Oppose. ]
- Oppose. What should be done is to merge Universal Republic Records, and Universal Motown Records, rather than pretending that UMG's internal machinations should be treated as distinct and unrelated entities. The original label was basically transformed into the latter two through legalese. bd2412 T 21:13, 5 August 2015 (UTC)]

The result of the move request was: not moved; Redirect Universal Records to Universal Music Group. wbm1058 (talk) 17:21, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
Universal Records (defunct record label), which was launched in 1995 and defunct in 2005 and the Universal Records Philippines, Inc. (URPI), which was launched in 1977 and it is not associated with the Universal Music Group or the defunct label with the same name or the Philippine affiliate which is known locally as MCA Music which they are not allowed to use the "Universal" name which , which was not discussed and mentioned on the previous requested move. It seems that neither of the article will be marked as primary topic because one has been defunct and one is existing right now. I think neither the defunct record label nor the Philippine record label should be the primary topic so this must be moved. Feel free to express your thoughts on this. Thank you. j3j3j3...pfH0wHz 10:55, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect Universal Records to Universal Music is a superset of the old Universal Records, and includes everything in the latter. List of Universal Records artistsdemonstrates the trainwreck we have here. It says,
- "This is a list of current, and former, artists for American label Universal Records of Universal Motown Republic Group, or one of its associated labels. An asterisk (*) denotes an artist who no longer records for the label."
- How can there be current artists for a label that's been defunct for 10 years? wbm1058 (talk) 05:16, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
- As an example of the difficulty in disambiguation between the parent company and its defunct namesame label, see Universal Music. As I said, editors seem to be frequently using "Records" as the common name for "Music". – wbm1058 (talk) 17:44, 27 February 2016 (UTC)]
