Transcribing from Spanish Wikipedia

It's apparent that someone has been rewriting the site's history on the English version in order to remove any mention of anyone other than Elon Musk. It would be great if someone could bring some of the information on the Spanish version of this article onto the English version. DASL51984 ^{(Speak to me!)} 12:36, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

That's not really what is going on here.

I'm assuming you're here due to this video Quite frankly, so am I. However, diving into the history of the page, there was an older version focused mostly on Thiel from 2005, which was replaced by a stub redirecting to the paypal page in 2006. The Elon centered replacement of that redirect is from 2017.

I'm guessing no one has taken the effort to correct the page on that, and frankly, I'm not likely to do so either, at least, not for now. Wild dog94 (talk) 12:57, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Twitter's Page should be merged with x-corp

Twitter Incorporated no longer exist in the US as of April 15th 2023 . it is now x corporation 2603:7080:8800:9C30:F673:5ABD:B5C:6534 (talk) 15:26, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

@2603:7080:8800:9C30:F673:5ABD:B5C:6534 these are two separate companies entirely, whilst they share some upper management and name they should not be merged. Reocha97 (talk) 05:26, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Requested move 27 July 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Given that X.com now refers to multiple subjects, consensus is that this disambiguation is necessary and appropriate. (non-admin closure) - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 00:10, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

X.com → X.com (bank) – Too easily confused with the now more relevant X Corp. and Twitter after its rebranding Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 00:14, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

• Support, with X.com being replaced with a disambiguation page that links to X.com (bank) and Twitter. Twitter is clearly still the common name for the latter entity (even the site itself still uses Twitter all over the place, e.g. [1]). It's also worth noting this article has had a huge spike in traffic since the branding change ([2]), though it's difficult to say if that's people looking for information about Twitter or if they're actually looking up information about the bank since it's come up in coverage of the Twitter rename. Given that X.com now redirects to Twitter, it seems safe to say that the bank alone isn't the primary topic anymore and disambiguation is useful. Dylnuge ^{(Talk • Edits)} 01:30, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

• Support disambiguation of the base name. Even if Musk were to (mysteriously) reverse it right now, the current rebrand from Twitter to X.com has received enough attention to clearly displace the bank as a primary topic. Glades12 (talk) 18:50, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose - per WP:ONEOTHER, there is not really any actual reason to do this when the hatnote exists. If this was rephrased as a discussion about redirecting X.com to Twitter than I could see myself supporting it, but as it stands this change doesn't actually make any difference for people looking for Twitter at all (compared to the hatnote) and will only lead to anyone looking for the original X.com having to click one more time. Is it really worth it to the encyclopedia to add one click for no real navigational benefit? casualdejekyll 21:36, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

  In plain English since I feel I've over-relied on guidelines for this one: This move does not change the number of clicks someone would have to do if they went to the page X.com looking for the article Twitter. Instead, it keeps that the same, while increasing the number of clicks someone would have to do if they went to the page X.com looking for the article currently at X.com. Therefore, I oppose the change because it makes navigation harder, not easier. casualdejekyll 16:47, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose Per WP:RECENTISM. The problem is that it's hard to say it's the primary topic in terms of longterm significance. For all we know, the site could be rebranded in another month or two if the name fails to gain traction, leading to it falling out of the zeitgeist. Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:50, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
• Support per nom. WP:ONEOTHER wouldn't be relevant here as X-COM, X Corp., and X (company) would also be able to be linked to the potential dab page, as would X.Org which would be in the see also section. Happily888 (talk) 04:08, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

  I re-affirm my oppose - you're STILL adding clicks. The current system has *less clicks* than this, even taking this into account. casualdejekyll 03:45, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

X.com as a dab page?

So, I've made the original name into a disambiguation page, but reverted myself immediately out of fear that the consensus would be against it. Thoughts? LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 18:07, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

InfiniteNexus did it. I didn't see that there was indeed consensus to dab above. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 18:17, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
