[edit] Merge proposal
I've added multiple merge templates: Lemonhead (candy), Atomic Fireball, Original Boston Baked Beans, and Red Hots. These candies are all stubs and I believe that none of them will contain enough information to warrant individual articles. If the individual candy stubs are combined with this candy company stub, we may have an interesting article underway, no? -Superbeecat 09:49, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
I'd rather keep them seperate. Eventually people might add more to the stubs, and the odds are that someone who's looking up a candy doesn't care much about the company or the other products they make. What I'd rather change is that the entry on Boston Baked Beans not have "Original" as part of the title. They don't refer to them with the "Original" on the company website.

- Au Contraire "ORIGINAL" at http://www.ferrarapan.com/html/beans.html The best way to deal with this is to show both variations e.g. "...Original Boston Baked Beans, also known as just "Boston Baked Beans..." --- Joe Hepperle 05:15, 28 March 2008 (CDT)
- I agree with Superbeecat. It's rather unlikely that people will add enough to the stubs to make them warrant articles on their own. As for someone looking up a candy: it doesn't matter whether he cares about the company or not: he'll find the same information about the candy--it will just be a subsection of a different article, rather than a stand-alone stub. Why would he care? Judah —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.61.252 (talk) 04:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Superbeecat as well. I wrote the first version of the Lemondheads article just to get it out there and maybe prompt someone to expand on it. Now, however, I think that a merge is a good idea. The Ferrera Pan article would be a lot more interesting with every candy represented, since it would all be in one place. --bobbo king (talk) 05:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
I too agree that they should be merged for the reasons already written. As reinforcement of the concept for those who may worry, merging will not affect ones ability to find the individual candies on Wikipedia. After merging, when you type "Boston Baked Beans" in the search box, it will automatically redirect to the Pan Company's page, where the information will be. It seems as if it has been long enough for comments... whomever knows how to do the merging (and redirects), I say go for it! -- Joe Hepperle March 28, 2008
