Talk:History of Yahoo!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yahoo's original name.
Wikipedia article's on Yahoo give the original name as been "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web".
However, Yahoo's corporate sites are now putting it forward as "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" ( http://yodel.yahoo.com/about/ and http://docs.yahoo.com/info/misc/history.html)
Does anyone have definitive evidence about the correct form?
- It was definitely called "Jerry's Guide ..". The name "Jerry and David's Guide .." was suggested, and may even have been used briefly (this book [1] says it was). Earthlyreason (talk) 04:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Due to a change in URLs the #3 reference should be http://blog.cre8asite.net/bwelford/2004/04/a-rose-by-any-other-name/ but I cannot open up the list in the Edit mode to make the correction.
Perhaps someone can make the correction.
Thanks

[edit] Merger proposal
This content appears to be mostly a previous (and less complete) version of the History section in the Yahoo! article.
I suggest that it is removed, after extracting and transferring any extra material of value.
Although the Yahoo! page is identified as a bit long (38 kB), this won't make much difference to it. Earthlyreason (talk) 04:15, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support merge - I don't see any good reason for this to remain a separate page. It's not a notable enough subject by itself, and there's enough room in the Yahoo! article for it to fit in there. Terraxos (talk) 01:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- I support the merge as well. The article simply doesn't have enough content to merit a separate page.--TBC!?! 05:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tree Biting Conspiracy (talk • contribs)
- Oppose. This page should just be expanded ... possibly entirely re-done. The information is out there to make a full article.Jesuschex (talk) 21:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose There's enough content in the Yahoo! article, and this is a logical piece to break out. Royalbroil 14:24, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose I actually think that History of Yahoo! should be expanded, because it can easily be done if someone spends time to do the research. Gary King (talk) 03:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose - I agree on expanding History of Yahoo!, rather than diluting Wikpedia by merging articles. —IncidentFlux (talk) 21:32, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
