This guideline documents an English Wikipedia naming convention. Editors should generally follow it, though exceptions may apply. Substantive edits to this page should reflect consensus. When in doubt, discuss first on this guideline's talk page. |
This page covers the naming convention of businesses, corporations, companies, public limited companies, limited companies, limited liability partnerships, limited liability companies, proprietary companies, unlimited liability corporations, and other types of corporation. A corporate entity is not excluded from this guideline if it is not-for-profit, state-owned, or a public–private partnership. The guideline, however, does not apply to a band, published work title, etc., that is named as if a corporation but is not one (e.g. Public Image Ltd, Scandal Incorporated, Murder, Inc.).
