Talk:Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria

edit

I suspect most of the content of this article were lifted out from the History Section of the English website of BBVA. [1] Sections "History", "Expansion" and "The Creation of BBVA" corresponds to the subpages of the same name in that section well.

Of course, if this is under the permission from BBVA itself, I won't object. --Samuel Curtis-- TALK 14:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Integrate material on Judge Garzon

edit

The investigating magistrate Baltasar Garzón rather fanously investigated BBVA's involvement in money laundering a few years back. It's in the Garzon article, but not this one. It ought to be referenced here, which by itself would help make this something other than a PR piece. --Christofurio 20:25, 20 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya ArgentariaBBVA – Similarly to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration not being called "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", BBVA is hardly known as "Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria" (even the bank refers to itself this way). The acronym generates more results than the formal name, a [2] tendency that began after Banco Bilbao Vizcaya and Argentaria merged in 1999. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 00:23, 13 June 2019 (UTC)--Relisted. – Ammarpad (talk) 15:00, 20 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose BBVA means nothing to me or most outside Spin. Acronym titles should generally be avoided; of course redirects are fine. I note that it is only this year that a host of local brand names in the US and other countries have been swept away and replaced by BBVA, so in a year or two this might make more sense.

@Johnbod:, refer to WP:ACRONYMTITLE before you assert that acronyms are avoided. Furthermore, the US brand changed recently, but BBVA has been doing this change for 20 years now. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 17:34, 17 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Also, per WP:ACRONYMTITLE, you need to prove Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria is the WP:COMMONAME. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 17:37, 17 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per nom. The proposed title also meets WP:CRITERIA. Calidum 04:09, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose I was looking to see if I could close some cases in the backlog, and this one was tough, since after relisting it only had one support and one oppose. So I dug in and decided to express an opinion instead. I think it's not the case that "the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation" since I see the full name mentioned in lot of recent sources still. And I reject Tbhotch's claim that the opposer has to prove that the current title is the commonname. It's up to nom to make a better case. The n-gram stats showing that the acronym is much more common is not sufficient, by analogy with the CIA n-grams as discussed at WP:ACRONYMTITLE. Dicklyon (talk) 05:34, 4 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Dicklyon: Can you include those, and I cite, "lots of recent [English] sources using the full name mentioned". I'm curious about it as I highly doubt English speakers use the legal name rather than the easily written and pronouned /Be Be Ve Ei/. And yes, it is my job to "prove that the current title is the commonname", but when opposers merely oppose, leave and never attempt to reply, what am I supposed to prove?

Sure. News, Books. Dicklyon (talk) 03:13, 6 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yet HSBC is valid. Yeah, English-centric website. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 02:46, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Well, yes we are; I see from your user page that you're from Mexico, so I can understand that this one might be familiar to you. To most English speakers, I think BBVA will be unknown. So will the full name, but at least "Banco ..." makes it recognizable as a bank name. English language sources seem to assume that BBVA will be unfamiliar, so they use the full name, at least the first time in introducing the acronym. Dicklyon (talk) 04:41, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
