Talk:Bank of Montreal

message: Do we really need the list of executives?  It seems to me that this will be difficult to maintain and that the information would be more readily available on the bank's website.  Cjrother 03:44, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of executives 

message: I don't when it was done, probably sometime between when the last discusion threads were posted and now, someone put the following in the article
in the paragraph discussing the Board of Directors "very gay" Robert Chevrier, and that in 2016, the BOM merged with the People's Bank of the People's Balls. 
Embarassing especially if the article is featured on the front page, as it is today.
I removed both, but the article should probably be checked for "digital graffitti."

replies: text: I think he meant why it is called BMO and not BoM or something similar. I'm not sure if it was here before, but it says in the article that it was named after its stock symbol. 74.116.137.2 01:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Ezekiel Hart is repetedly added to the BMO founders list. This information is incorrect; they were only nine founders of the bank, all of which signed the Bank's articles of association. Any serious historian can go to BMO's Corporate Archives to confirm this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.96.180.245 (talk) 14:00, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked the given ref (which I adjusted to be more specific for where I found the info) and I do not see him listed, so I removed it. It's up to those who would re-add to supply a reference supporting his inclusion. DMacks (talk) 19:19, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I propose to merge BMO Nesbitt Burns into Bank of Montreal, per the emerging consensus which had concurrence between , by  thanking me for my close, and explicitly by , from the recent AfD discussion result for BMO Nesbitt Burns which confirmed that although BMO Nesbitt Burns meets WP:GNG, as written, the BMO Nesbitt Burns article fails WP:CORPDEPTH and it has had ~15-20 years to do so. Though Wikipedia notionally has no deadlines, having perpetual stub-class articles that say things like, "Company X was founded in NNNN in Y and exists," and then links to the parent company article is both unhelpful to readers/patrons and, in turn, this reflects poorly on the encyclopedia. As well, if you strip out the two paragraphs on trivial administrative monetary penalties and civil court actions related to contraventions of the mutual fund dealer's licensing terms, this article is a mere two sentences; thus, it's an unnecessary and duplicative content fork. Lastly, think that the content in the BMO Nesbitt Burns article can easily be explained in the context of Bank of Montreal (where it's probably already mentioned), and the Bank of Montreal article is of a reasonable size that the merging of BMO Nesbitt Burns will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned.
Note: that this merge would be without prejudice to a future splitting back to BMO Nesbitt Burns, preferably through a new consensus discussion, if and when willing editors want to write more than a stub-class article that does not give undue weight to the administrative monetary penalties and court actions of the mutual fund dealing firm.
