[edit] Kaplan

1. This appears to be largely advertising/publicity about a commercial organisation
2. It is 'squatting' on the name 'Kaplan' which refers to thirty or so other Kaplan articles.

At present anyone searching these is forced to see this 'advertisment' first before going on the to the page 'Kaplan (disambiguation)' I propose that the page as it stands is deleted and the contents of the page 'Kaplan (disambiguation)' are transferred to it. This would mean that anyone searching 'Kaplan' will immediately come up with the disambiguation page. I would also propose that, if the content of the present 'Kaplan' is considered appopriate for Wikipedia, it is transferred to a new page 'Kaplan Inc.' Declaration of interest: I am putting together an article on Anatoli Lvovich Kaplan. I have no ill-will towards, or any past or present connection with, Kaplan Inc.

PLEASE discuss this page move at a proper place, Talk:Kaplan. The page is listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves. mikka (t) 19:59, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• Move to Kaplan (company) and disambig to this page. The company itself is notable. Please use requested moves for future requests. PS I added an AFD notice on the page. JFW | T@lk 14:29, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Rename as above and restore the disambiguation page to the top of the Kaplan page tree. The company can then be mentioned there, if indeed it requires an encyclopædia entry at all. -- (aeropagitica)  15:03, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as is. Kaplan, the standardized-test related company, is by far the most notable article on that disambiguation page. It is common practice in cases like this to do exactly as has been done here. See all of the pages on this list for more examples. (ESkog)^(Talk) 18:12, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Rename/ and use Kaplan as DAB. To say that Kaplan Inc. is more notable that Fanya Kaplan, who shot Lenin is simply ridiculous. mikka (t) 19:50, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
