Talk:Bandai Namco Group

I created this article for the purpose of covering the topic of the conglomerate Bandai Namco Group and the existing article, Namco Bandai Holdings, should only focus on the holding company itself, not the corporate group for which it acts as a holding company.

I understand what you're saying, and I do agree. In fact, I see that you've already made a significant change to Namco Bandai Holdings, removing the "also known as ..." which was one of my concerns about having two articles. I think that article still needs some work, which perhaps, with your greater knowledge, you could look at when time permits -- as an outsider, I don't really get a clear picture of the group structure, which is the first thing I'd expect from an article on the holding company.
In the meantime, I'm removing my csd tag to give you the "breathing space" you need. Regards. Jimmy Pitt talk 09:29, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I will try to figure out what the best way to present the group structure in the article is. The problem is that it is a really big corporate group. The Toys and Hobby SBU (Strategic Business Unit) comprises over 15 subsidiaries and the Content SBU contains over 20 subsidiaries and then there are a few additional subsidiaries in other SBU. Additionally some subsidiaries like Bandai Co., Ltd. have many regional subsidiaries like Bandai America Inc., Bandai S.A., Bandai UK Ltd. etc. I don't know if it is really a good idea to list them all in the article, but this would perhaps be necessary to get an overview over the whole group structure. I will think about how this information can be presented in this article in an informative and overseeable way. Perhaps only the SBUs should be mentioned and a brief summary of the businesses each of it is active in rather than listing every single subsidiary.
