Gannett CompanyGannett Co. – Move discussion, again: sorry to rehash after just a couple of months, but I don't think Gannett Company is the correct title for this article, because there is no such entity. The name in the company's charter, which is reflected in the company's securities filings with the SEC, is Gannett Co., Inc. (i.e. abbreviated). Thus I believe it would be appropriate for us to locate this article at one of the following pages that are currently redirects:

  • Gannett (obviously requiring rehash of the last discussion);
  • Gannett Co. (to match the name absent the Inc., which follows WP naming guideline in leaving it off); or
  • Gannett (company) to make clear that the disambuiguator is WP-applied.

but the current article title is not appropriate IMO. My preference is Gannett Co. (note we have Crane Co. and Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.)

I am fine with that also; was only trying to be sensitive to the previous RM outcome. UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:25, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
