The vote above should never have taken place. They changed their name at corporate level, changing the page name to Wilko should've been uncontroversial. Digifiend ( talk) 02:25, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Digifiend - The amount of people on this place who enjoy making a big fuss outta nothing is damn right ridiculous - Had I moved it myself we both know I or the mover would've ended up at ANI and no doubt blocked ....., I absolutely agree it should've been moved a long time ago!, –

- @ Davey2010 Shouldn't it be moved to Wilko Ltd. per WP:NATDAB? Or Wilko per WP:PRITOP? 90.255.19.247 ( talk) 08:52, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
All edits made according to recent accounts by Wilko to Companies House, freely available to anyone who may wish to expand on the article, legally Wilko has to declare their accounts the section on financial performance could be developed further! Anyone who wants to delve further into the past the documents are are on the Companies House website!
Jerome Saint Marc is no longer the CEO. MARK Jackson is now the CEO. Percy2345 ( talk) 23:40, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Moved to Wilko. ( closed by non-admin page mover) SilverLocust 💬 05:55, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Wilko (retailer) → ? – Move to Wilko Ltd. per WP:NATDAB, or Wilko per WP:PRITOP. 90.255.19.247 ( talk) 17:16, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Wilko Ltd. as poorly considered. The current title represents the name of the organisation adequately. We don't have the Tesco article called Tesco plc or Sainsbury's titled J Sainsbury plc, etc. However, i'd be open to considering a support for the article being moved to the Wilko primary title (and that in turn gaining (disambiguation) parenthesis), as the retailer seems to be the WP:PTOPIC based on the alternatives listed and average pageviews. Bungle ( talk • contribs) 17:26, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose because we don't name articles in this way but would support the latter part. – Davey2010 Talk 19:48, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Wilko Ltd.. Not how we name articles. Support Wilko. Probably is primary topic. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 15:43, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Wilko Ltd., but happy to Support Wilko if it is the clear primary topic (signing this as someone with the surname Wilkinson and a long-standing Wilko nickname!). Paul W ( talk) 13:33, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Wilko is the actual name.

A bit iffy (
talk) 20:55, 3 August 2023 (UTC) Update to clarify: I oppose
Wilko Ltd. because generally we don't append 'Ltd.' or similar as per the earlier response re Tesco etc. I would support either the existing
Wilko (retailer), or simply
Wilko if it's generally felt that the UK retailer is the predominant meaning.--

I have just added the now public figure of £7 million The Range Group paid to acquire the Wilko brand, website and IP. This can be found on page 16 of the Administrators report found on Companies House. It must be noted that "Wilko Limited" has changed its name to "WL REALISATIONS (2023) LIMITED". Filing history.

This article is getting a bit confusing, should it be reverted to only focus on the former company? Like Debenhams? Or remain the mash-up of former company, retained The Range brand? Dank Jae 15:19, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
