Can someone please correct the citation for the CDIC press release welcoming Motus Bank? Can't figure out what's wrong. I copied the formatting exactly! Thanks! Doug Mehus ( talk) 11:09, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
→Nevermind. Got it. Doug Mehus ( talk) 11:14, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
Should the article be named Motus Bank per CDIC or Motusbank per its branding due to the WP:COMMONNAME policy? Me-123567-Me ( talk) 02:49, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
If Motus Bank were offering a separate branded division out of one of its branches, a la Simplii Financial at CIBC or Hubert Financial at Sunova Credit Union, then that'd be a different story. However, what we have here is Motus Bank offering its services directly. The fact that they choose to remove capitalization and spacing on their name in their marketing (customer statements, cheques, official correspondence, and the like use their legal name) seems to me that motusbank is merely the accompanying logotype to their corporate logo. Therefore, we should be using Motus Bank in line with past precedent and practice here.
Moreover, the fact that one name merely produces more Google search results is just due to the fact that newspapers and blogs - hoping to curry favour with Motus Bank and win their ad spend - by adopting their brand guidelines and essentially acting like de facto press release purveyors. We should ignore that spin. Doug Mehus ( talk) 20:59, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
motusbank is the advertising name used by the bank incorporated as Motus Bank, a federally chartered online-only bank in Canada, owned and operated by Meridian Credit Union.
Alterna Bank is one example, yes, but I would still argue that the name is either Motus Bank (legal name, which they use prominently on the "About Us" webpage) or, at the very least, motus bank. The fact that motus is bolded implies that the two are separate words. Doug Mehus ( talk) 18:06, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
You use the name Meridian Credit Union even though the prominent branding name is Meridian. Why are you so opposed to a minor move like this? The web redirect would remain in place. Doug Mehus ( talk) 18:08, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
So Dmehus ( talk · contribs) decided on their own merit to merge this article into Meridian Credit Union ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) on 25 August 2019 without any discussion. I have undone that merge per WP:BOLD & WP:MERGE. Me-123567-Me ( talk) 20:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
