Merge:Shouldn't the Giorgio Armani S.p.A. article be merged into this one? That would fit with other articles on fashion designers/companies such as Louis Vuitton. -- 66.143.92.52 22:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Merge: Merge it in, then. Zingus 17:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Merge: I am supporting the merge. No need for two stubs when there could be a stronger, near-start quality article instead. - Flvg94 15:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Oppose: While many fashion designers and their eponymous labels are covered in the same article, it will not always be true that the company and the person will be part of the same narrative. Armani will die someday; the company will continue on. The company article already reflects their different histories (he did not start it all by himself, as it notes). Daniel Case 16:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Merge: I would have to say that it should be merged. these two articles are very much the same. As another poster said, the article would be far better with 1 full article as opposed to two stubs. thanks Smiley200 18:23, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Oppose:I'm now splitting the article, see other designers/brands. Ban Ray 20:34, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Merge:I think the following should be deleted from this discussion page:
Oppose:I do not believe so because it has nothing really to do with Giorgio Armani himself technically! but if you wish to do so go right on ahead and disregard my say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.50.142.234 ( talk • contribs)
Merge:What's above is a good example of what can come before the paragraph in the Giorgio Armani S.p.A. article which further encourages merging. I do belive that the Giorgio Armani S.p.A. article should be merged with this article because it describes the begginings of the company. Having this information on the article would help it meet Wikipedia standards. The current version of this article is a stub but including Giorgio Armani S.p.A. article can halp expand it. Blah0401 04:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Oppose - The person and the company are not the same. Each is notable and deserving of an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Epopp ( talk • contribs)
Oppose. One is a fashion designer company. The other is a fashion designer. We do not have one page for Bill Gates and Microsoft together do we? We have separate ones for each because they are separate notable enough entities. Crystalclearchanges ( talk) 10:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
I think this article is completely sub quality and to conform to wikipedia's high standards must be completely re-written. For a start, information is placed via date, out of true tense (i.e. grammar incorrect) and follows no structure. Not only this but the article has been written almost childishly:
"Armani understands how to make a suit sexy" "Every woman, once she has worn an Armani jacket, is hooked for life." "His jackets do not do any of these." "...not at all masculine."
To happen upon this page and notice the sub-par quality is an issue which must be addressed promptly.
````
I cannot get his orientation as 'homosexual' to appear on the infobox even though I submitted the information onto the page. Crystalclearchanges ( talk) 10:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
I thought he was queer and article says nothing of it. No personal info? Or is this cover up? Who does he play "drop the soap" with?
The second sentance of this article includes "...was acclaimed as the most successful designer to come out of Italy ..."
The word "acclaimed" has got to go (not to mention this sentence just sounds weird).
I can't come up with an anything better. I hope someone else can -- angrykeyboarder (a/k/a:Scott) ( talk) 19:45, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
I hear he supports a Milanese club but which one? Inter Milan or AC Milan? I'm dying to know! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.253.123 ( talk) 04:57, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
I couldn't find any info about his sexual oriention so I removed the LGBT category -- Nathanid ( talk) 16:57, 7 October 2010 (UTC) I have just done the same thing. He may or may not be someone who identifies as homosexual or bisexual - however we shouldn't add this until we have a source. Sue De Nimes ( talk) 20:14, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
I will start a round of tidying up references and citations, adding ISBNs etc, consolidating duplicated citations and no doubt other matters arising. I've just ordered one of the books mentioned so I hope to be able to verify a few things (siblings' names for example) and add page numbers. To do this tidily I will be changing the details of how books are referenced, with short inline references and a single detailed citation, but the general style of the references will stay the same. I will also change the reference section titles around so it is clear what has been explicitly cited in the source and what is a more general reference. -- Mirokado ( talk) 12:30, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
If Armani doesn't want models' starving themselves to death, he should oppose torturing bulls to death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.254.132.106 ( talk) 12:18, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
There are a lot of missing citations in this article. It would be nice to have them because this article isn't bad as it is but without references a lot of this content will have to be removed. Monopoly31121993 ( talk) 18:26, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
It's unacceptable that there's no section on his personal life, so I've started one - noting his sexual orientation. Others should feel free to expand the section with likewise referenced sources. Thanks! fishhead64 ( talk) 18:48, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
