Comment. If content has been merged, the article should be redirected, not deleted. That way attribution history will be preserved.

Oppose. This article should not be deleted. It is a massive subject and needs its own page to grow. I have no idea what you think is going to be achieved with this "merger". Wikidea 19:32, 12 January 2014 (UTC)reply
Comment The merge already happened. At the moment, it is just a stub article.

Keep. Seems like a legitimate topic for an article, but it may need some cleanup.

Keep -- I am not sure about America, but in England, "company" had usually referred to commercial organisations, and corporation to public bodies charged with the government of a town (now more usually "council". This is a summary of the history of some major commercial companies. If a merger has taken place, either it should be de-merged or the resultant article should get this name. Furthermore, upon a merger, it is normal to keep the merged article as a redirect.
