Hello. I need help in getting a page for Merging Technologies. Merging Technologies is a rather well known manufacturer in the professional audio world, mainly in classical music and jazz. Even if not as big as many other companies in this field, Merging and it's products are used by professionals all over the world. For example here is a review on the renowned Sound On Sound magazine, with a review of our latest product: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/merging-anubis-music-mission

There are multiple other Sound On Sound (and many other magazines) reviews over the years of some other Merging Technologies products: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/merginganubis, https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/merging-hapi, https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/merging-technologies-pyramix, https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/merging-technologies-pyramix-native-6

Another example, Gearspace (renowned audio pro forum, used to be called Gearslutz) has many threads about our products over the years, see https://gearspace.com/gear/merging-technologies. And here is a page on Merging's latest product: https://gearspace.com/gear/merging-technologies/anubis

Also Merging Technologies is already listed on some Wikipedia articles, for example here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES67#Adoption. Or here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTP-MIDI#Companies/Projects_using_RTP-MIDI, or here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenna_(networking)#Open_technology All those Wikipedia articles could be enhanced by putting a link to a page of the company.

So I would need help with getting the article written properly because I have been trying for many years and the page ends up being deleted. Is it possible to have help from an editor for this? Here is the draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Merging_Technologies

WP:THREE, but have some more in case it is needed. Also I would like to list again 3 Wikipedia pages that already mention the company Merging Technologies which is relevant in the pro audio world. The Wikipedia articles are: [[2]], [[3]], [[4]]. Thanks again for your input on this. Nicowiki~enwiki (talk) 12:28, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply

Mentions in other Wikipedia articles is a good informal indication of notability but doesn't usually carry much weight with AfC reviewers or in

@Kvng: Here is an article about Merging Technologies' CEO Claude Cellier (mentioned in the draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Merging_Technologies), and also about the company's history. The source is AES.org, which should be a reliable and independent source. link: https://www.aes.org/events/145/presenters/?ID=7812 Nicowiki~enwiki (talk) 17:29, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kvng: Hi Kvng, can you please review the last link I furnished in my reply above? The draft was deleted again on May 1st due to inactivity. I have asked for un-deletion [[5]]. We have recently started collaborating with Lawo, here is a fresh article that speaks of Merging Technologies in relation with Lawo: https://lawo.com/lawo-welcomes-merging-technologies-as-first-among-home-equals/. Hopefully this helps a bit more; as the title says, please help me get an article for Merging Technologies.

@Kvng: Hi Kvng, the draft has been restored, here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Merging_Technologies. The new sources are this one on aes.org: https://www.aes.org/events/145/presenters/?ID=7812 (not new, but you have not reviewed it in my reply above), and this link which is recent (a collaboration with Lawo) https://lawo.com/lawo-welcomes-merging-technologies-as-first-among-home-equals/.

@Kvng: Hi Kvng, this article has been published recently: https://audioxpress.com/news/merging-technologies-creates-scalable-high-performance-aes67-solution-based-on-analog-devices-sharc-socs, please review it. It says: "Merging Technologies’ experience in the audio over IP (AoIP) field (Ravenna/AES67) and Analog Device's experience in unified communications and pro-audio applications, has led to a collaboration that broadens the range of AoIP solutions for manufacturers of electronics and ultimately integrators."

Is this not enough to be listed as an audio pro company on Wikipedia?

Here are other

WP:INDEPENDENT sources with that same info: https://www.proavl-asia.com/details/70341-merging-announces-analogue-aes67-solution-for-sharc-socs, https://www.fast-and-wide.com/faw-news/fast-news/16965-merging-launches-sharc-socs-aes-67-solution

, "Merging has been one of the driving forces of Ravenna since its conception. Availability of AoIP technology allows a broader audience to AES67 technology, and enables OEMs to design AES67-based products"

We are not clearly over the hump here. An

WP:AFD discussion would provide a definitive answer. Normally I'd say, let's accept it and see what happens but since there's a COI in play here, I don't think that's a good idea. ~Kvng (talk) 13:32, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply

@Kvng: Hi Kvng. There have been some big news for Merging Technologies, which is that we have been acquired by Sennheiser and will be collaborating with Neumann.Berlin under the same umbrella. Here are some links to reputable pro audio sources: https://www.avinteractive.com/news/audio/neumann-berlin-and-merging-technologies-join-forces-06-07-2022/, https://www.inavateonthenet.net/news/article/neumann-and-merging-technologies-to-collaborate-in-sennheiser-takeover, https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/production-expert-1/sennheiser-acquires-merging-technologies, https://www.proaudio.de/de/news/recording/26594-neumann-und-merging-technologies-buendeln-kraefte.html, and there are many more. Surely this is now enough to be on Wikipedia?! ~Nicowiki~enwiki (talk) 16:49, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we need to see

WP:REDIRECT to help readers find it. And/or we can wait until there is more independent coverage of the acquisition and finish the article then. ~Kvng (talk) 19:12, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

Hello WikiProject Professional sound production,

The Wikimedia sound logo contest is progressing and as we get ready to launch in September, we are looking for a few volunteers to help with screening contest entries. Please let us know on our talk page or get directly in touch with me if you are interested. There are also other ways for community members to get involved and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. VGrigas (WMF) (talk) 19:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are the stats in the "Professional sound production articles by quality and importance" grid on the Project page out-of-date, or am I interpreting what I'm seeing incorrectly? synthfiend (talk) 13:10, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It does lag by a few days. Looks reasonable in a spot check. What problems are you seeing? ~Kvng (talk) 15:32, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm new to Wikipedia and am running into trouble editing this page. It definitely needs a lot of work but people seemed to take issue with the additions I had made so far.

{{Audio formats}} has more red links than blue. I doubt many of these articles will ever get written and if the do they may be subject to deletion on notability grounds. Perhaps some of these topics are mentioned in other articles or should be removed from the template. ~Kvng (talk) 14:32, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
