@ KamranMackey: I don't think the November 6, 2017 date is accurate. According to the article and the cited source in the article body, November 6 is the date that news outlets first began reporting that Disney and 21st Century Fox were in talks about a possible acquisition. This was not the date the deal was "initiated" as talks had apparently been underway for a while, according to the article, and a deal wouldn't be announced until the following month. Accordingly, I don't think it is accurate to characterize that date as the date on which the acquisition was "initiated" in the infobox.
I also don't think that the date that was in the infobox originally, July 19, 2018, is accurate either (which is why I haven't reverted back again). I think it would make more sense to use the date on which the deal was first confirmed by the parties themselves -- December 14, 2017 -- as that was the date on which the process of seeking regulatory approvals officially began. That said, I'm not sure if it's even necessary to use this parameter in the infobox at all since the history/timeline of this particular acquisition is so convoluted.
