The fact that google can recognize pictures of cats is a mere side effect of their massive neural network program. It was never a goal to 'recognize cats', this is just how media spins it (pun intended LOL). Blonkm ( talk) 14:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
Does anyone have interest in starting a history section all I know is that serial entrepreneur Tom Chi helped start it GeekX ( talk) 09:03, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Some times I wonder if some of this stuff is true or if its just gossip making us seem advanced.-- Universe Gazzer ( talk) 01:26, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Google x → Google X – The name Google X is almost always capitalized in sources [1] (note: some of these articles are about the rumored Motorola X phone, no relation to Google X.) If that isn't enough, WP:MOSTM advises that proper noun trademarks should always be capitalized. This article was boldly moved from Google X Lab to its present location this May. Marcus Qwertyus ( talk) 00:55, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Note: I deleted the talk page that used to live at Talk:Google X because it contained content from the old page (about the Google Labs experiment) and to preserve the edit history of the article's actual talk page. L Faraone 15:02, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
It's just a report for now, but apparently Google will be dropped from Google X. I would propose moving this article to X (company) if this comes to fruition and is verified. The logo is apparently changing too. If it is similar to the one in the report, I would say that it qualifies for {{ PD-shape}} and can be re-created/uploaded to commons. -- Natural RX 17:21, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Google X is now X. All references beyond the first sentence (which is “X, previously Google X…”) should now just say X, not Google X [1]
Many past X projects are missing - These include Google [x] Life Sciences, Gcam, Google Watch, Project Insight, Google Brain, Flux, Project Tango. [2]
Suggest two sections, one “Projects” for current X projects, the other “Graduates” or “Past X projects” for projects that have graduated from X [3]
The campus described was the old campus at various buildings along Stierlin Ct in Mountain View. Most of Google X now resides at the former Mayfield Mall [4] at 100 Mayfield Avenue [5], building RLS1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toddpoynor ( talk • contribs) 06:23, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Move to X (company). We have clear consensus the article needs to move, and this appears to be the most favored option. Cúchullain t/ c 18:48, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
X (incubator) → ? – This article does need
disambiguation from X, but examples of
WP:PARENDIS are usually supposed to
use more common words. Using "
incubator" seems to be a case of
WP:NWFCTM, perhaps
X (company) or
X (Alphabet subsidiary) are more appropriate. If there is an established specific naming convention, it should follow that. --

On 1 May 2021, User:Lyanbox782 moved this page from X (company) to X Development without a move request (that I can find). I believe this is justified, having seen Meta Platforms as a recent example of a company name being used to be more specific versus a scope in parenthesis.
As a visitor to the article, the title did not make sense to me. I was unaware of the legal name, which wasn't mentioned in the article. As a result, I created revs 1142759899 and 1142973955 to reword the introduction and infobox to follow the Meta Platforms example, mentioning that X is legally called X Development LLC (contextualizing article name) and was doing business as X (contextualizing further references to the name).
Today (a few hours ago), an anonymous user called User:AnonGoogler reverted the change with the message "Reverted prior change that X Development LLC does business as X." No reason is expressed either in the description or on an entry in the talk page. To avoid WP:WAR (& because I am a new/inexperienced editor), I am seeking the advice of my fellow Wikipedians, and a response from User:AnonGoogler. Please let me know if there's a better forum to do so. violetwtf ( talk) 23:57, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
I haven't been following this discussion, but @ AnonGoogler: Do you have an undisclosed COI? Please read WP:COI and clarify on your userpage. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 16:36, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved as proposed. Note that WP:NCCORP discourages using LLC in this situation. Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 07:40, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
X (company) →
X Development – (Could also be X Development LLC). Edit: This could also help tidy up the awfully long hatnote.
Original comment: I think that this would help differentiate this article from other, similarly-named articles, such as
X Company and
X Corp.. I am not sure what the
WP:COMMONNAME here is, but there are some sources which refer to the company as "X Development" or "X Development LLC" (such as
Bloomberg and
Business Insider), and we could always
WP:IGNORE the COMMONNAME guideline, as I believe changing the article name would improve it.
