Merge proposal from Timeline of Yahoo
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I suggest merging Timeline of Yahoo into this article, History of Yahoo. The content is largely duplicative, and where it isn't, I think a merge would more helpfully show the full scope of the topic. (As a bonus, it would also help address how outdated this article currently is.) I mocked up what this could look like in my sandbox here, merging in content from Timeline of Yahoo that was missing in History of Yahoo. (You can see a diff of this from the current article here.) The merged article is around 5,200 words, well below the 10,000 limit suggested at WP:SIZE.
Please note I have a COI: Yahoo is a client of my employer, Porter Novelli. Mary Gaulke (talk) 01:40, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
