Move of Draft:Quality Group
Hello Dan, thanks for taking a look at the draft. I noticed you moved it from Draft:The Quality Group to Draft:Quality Group, and I wanted to ask whether you would reconsider the title.
Per WP:THE, the leading article is retained when it is part of the proper name and capitalized in running text. That seems to be the case here: the company's registered name is "The Quality Group GmbH", and English-language sources capitalize the "The" mid-sentence, e.g. Just Food, Business Wire and CVC's announcement. Comparable titles include The Boring Company and The Walt Disney Company.
A minor additional point: the name "Quality Group" has previously been associated with an unrelated Tanzanian conglomerate. An article on it existed at Quality Group Limited until it was deleted in April 2026 via expired PROD (failing WP:NCORP), following several earlier deletions in 2006 (deletion log). Keeping the "The" would help distinguish the German company from that history.
For transparency: I have a disclosed paid connection to the subject (see the draft's edit history and talk page), which is why I'd rather raise this with you than move the page myself. If you prefer to leave the final title to the reviewing AfC editor, that's of course fine too. Best regards, ~2026-38750-46 (talk) 12:03, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
- Just a brief follow-up in case this slipped through – no urgency at all. If you'd rather not deal with it, I'll simply leave a note on the draft's talk page so the reviewing AfC editor can decide the title on acceptance. Best regards, ~2026-39507-56 (talk) 12:04, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
Draft:2026–27 AEK Athens F.C. season
Hello Dan, would you say that the draft of the 2026–27 AEK Athens season is ready to be changed into an article now? Pre-season has started and the first friendly is in a few days. I've added as much info as I can and that is available for now. Nikos Prokopiou (talk) 12:51, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
