It appears that someone erroneously took two different companies, a NASDAQ case, and a private Irish one, into one article - rather than rewriting to be just one, the article needs to be split. And without promo language... SeoR (talk) 12:34, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On checking, no, the article seems accurate enough - but the focus should be weighted more towards the business after the spin-out, and a separate article for the Nadsaq-quoted business would still be appropriate. SeoR (talk) 12:59, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article should be split. I will add a split template on the page to further the discussion. FFM784 (talk) 17:30, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to split Viatel Technology Group into Viatel Inc.

• Support - Viatel Inc. should have its own page considering its history, which is largely undocumented on Wikipedia at the moment. The existing page, Viatel Technology Holding should not be saddled with the history of Viatel Inc. since it was created out of a small part of what was left when the company was sold off. If I'm not mistake, they only purchased the Irish business and the name. FFM784 (talk) 18:07, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Support - Viatel Inc. was, briefly, a major tech play, and Viatel Tech. Group is a material player in one small market, the remnant of a remnant of the European business of the former, so clearly two articles would better handle the situation. SeoR (talk) 23:21, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Perhaps I'm missing something but, if the main topic of this article is "Viatel Inc" (its history/etc) and the "name only" holding company is not independently notable (and certainly less notable than "Viatel Inc"), would it not be better to simply move the article. And adjust the scope to reflect the new title? I mean, if the article is split, what would the "Viatel Technology Group" title possibly contain? Guliolopez (talk) 15:45, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
