Talk:Brunswick Group#requestedit

[edit]

Hello! On behalf of Brunswick Group and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I will be submitting a few edit requests seeking to update and improve this Wikipedia article. Given my COI, I will be using Template:Edit COI and not editing the page directly. I'd appreciate help from others to review and implement requests appropriately.

First, I'd like to suggest adding the company's logo to the infobox. I have uploaded the logo via fair use here: File:Brunswick Group logo.png. I believe the file will be deleted if the logo is not added within the next few days, so hopefully someone can assist before then. The logo can be seen on the company's official website and social media accounts. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 21:30, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am marking this request as answered since File:Brunswick Group logo.svg has been added to the Infobox. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 13:34, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Number of employees and partners

[edit]

Hi again! I'd like to submit a request to update the number of employees and partners, per The Wall Street Journal, which says, "The company has about 1,400 employees and about 230 partners."

In the article body, I suggest adding the sentence:

  • Brunswick Group had approximately 1,400 employees 230 partners in 2024.[1]

I also suggest updating the infobox, to match the article body. Please change "1,300 (2022) to "1,400 (2024)".

I don't think this is a controversial update, but I avoid editing the main space because of my COI and I'm asking editors to update the article on my behalf. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 16:17, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Co-founders

[edit]

I'd like to submit another request to correct and improve this Wikipedia article, which currently has a discrepancy re: co-founders Louise Charlton and Andrew Fenwick. The article's history section has the unsourced sentence "The company was founded in 1987 by Alan Parker." The infobox lists Sir Alan Parker, Louise Charlton, and Andrew Fenwick as co-founders.

I'd like to provide a source confirming Louise Charlton is a co-founder:

Additionally, I'd like to provide a source confirming Andrew Fenwick is a co-founder:

Can an editor update the article body to add mention of Louise Charlton and Andrew Fenwick as co-founders? Again, I don't think this is a contentious claim but I generally avoid editing the main space.

@Sargdub: I think you recently added the sentence "The company was founded in 1987 by Alan Parker" and made other updates to the infobox, if you're willing to take a look at this request and another above.

Thanks in advance for any help, Inkian Jason (talk) 16:27, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notable employees

[edit]

Hi again! Over the past few weeks, I've submitted a series of edit requests to link "Brunswick Group" within existing Wikipedia articles to the recently created entry about the company. Since many company articles on Wikipedia list independently notable employees (in some cases, even as standalone lists), I wonder if editors would be interested in adding a reciprocal list of notable Brunswick Group employees to this article.

If so, I would suggest the following addition, which is based on reliable news sources:

Notable employees of Brunswick Group have included:

I assume there are more names to be added, but this gets a bulleted list started and helps link related Wikipedia articles. I'll let editors decide if a section for Operations or Leadership should be added. I'll note, this list could be grouped with existing text in the entry about co-founders, current CEO Henry Timms, and Neal S. Wolin.

I should also note, this request is related to another I've submitted at Articles for Creation (for categories) to create Category:Brunswick Group and Category:Brunswick Group people:

Sharing this for organizational purposes and in case any COI edit reviewers are interested in helping with the category creation. My goal for these requests is to group and wiki-link related pages about the company and notable employees. I invite any editors to weigh in here, but I'm also pinging User:Sammi Brie, who I noticed helped with many of the edit requests I submitted for linking the company within employee biographies.

Thanks again for your consideration, Inkian Jason (talk) 17:36, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Inkian Jason:, I will happily do the Wikilinking but I am concerned about the notability of the topic at the moment. Can you provide a few sources that you feel meet WP:CORPDEPTH as I am only seeing brief mentions, routine announcements, and others that fall short of WP:ORGCRIT. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:21, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@CNMall41: Hi, thanks for your reply. I wasn't involved in the article's creation, and I can't speak to its original authorship. My role has been focused on addressing problematic text and proposing improvements from a Wikipedia perspective. I/we defer to editors on the subject's notability, and if independent consensus is reached that the article should remain, I/we would like to ensure it is more accurate, complete, and neutral. I was planning to propose more updates and content additions about the company's history and operations for editor consideration, but perhaps I should hold off until the notability concern is settled. Are you, User:Onel5969 (who added the notability tag), and others willing to move this discussion forward so that either the article is deleted or the notability banner is removed? Inkian Jason (talk) 19:29, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, are you asking for it to go to AfD? I was proposing to you, as you are here representing them, a way to avoid a deletion discussion. Can you clarify?--CNMall41 (talk) 19:55, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think the list of employees that have come and gone through the company that has a Wikipedia entry is undue. This is not something that belongs in an encyclopedia. Ift he argument is that other stuff exists, I suggest discussion at NPOV/N. Graywalls (talk) 14:29, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
