• Merge into Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Limited, presumably into a "regional operations" section. Dan • ✉ 15:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Merge with a totally unrelated company? Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Limited is a power generation company owned by Andhra Pradesh state government, the Andhra Pradesh state government owns lots of companies.

  The Power Generation Corporation generates and supplies power to not only this distribution company but it supplies power to whole Power Grid of India. So according to me it doesn't make sense to merge two separate companies just because they sound same or owned by same owner. They are literally DIFFERENT COMPANIES.

@Thewikizoomer: If you don't stop WP:BLUDGEONing every comment that made has been made on this, I will take you to WP:ANI. scope_creep^Talk 16:11, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This appears like a personal attack, accusing other users of doing something that they are not and within accordance with Wikipedia policies is personal attack. I can take you to WP:ANI and instead of threatening, you can directly take it there. Thewikizoomer (talk) 04:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Scope creep FYI... Thewikizoomer is a politically exposed editor, presumably hired or paid by the current Government of Andhra Pradesh. Their edit history is quite openly visible. It looks like taking the ANI route is the only viable option. Charlie (talk) 17:36, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment It states here: [1] that the electricity generators were deregulated in 1999. The main monolithic supplier APSEB was split into a grid supplier and the Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Limited. The regional generator were split off from this organisation into regional supplier. They are all owned by Andhra Pradesh government. Even though they are seperate companies, they can be one article, because all companies are owned by one entity. scope_creep^Talk 16:32, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  10s of companies are owned by Andhra Pradesh state government, it is still unfair and doesn't make sense to merge, just because they are owned by the same party. Thewikizoomer (talk) 04:21, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete: Similar to another AfD discussion... Independently, this company doesn't qualify for its own Wikipedia page as it doesn't meet the WP:NCORP and WP:ORGCRIT. A merger is also not feasible since it isn't a direct subsidiary of APPGCL. Charlie (talk) 07:19, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The references cited independently cover the subject (this article), could you elaborate on the unsatisfying criteria as you mentioned so this can be cleared

  @Thewikizoomer I have noticed your actions on the NTPC Power Plant pages I created as per WP:NBUILDING rule. This seems to be driven by a sense of vengeance. Unlike you, I have no personal stake in whether these pages remain, get merged, or are deleted. However, your conduct goes against the core principles of Wikipedia editing. It appears you have been hired or paid by the current Andhra Pradesh government, as you have been consistently trying to delete pages related to the previous administration and updating those pages of those subjects which are managed by the current adminstration. I don't need to deep dive much as you are exposing yourself through your actions. It's time for you to be honest. Charlie (talk) 17:23, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't respond to personal attacks and this is not a place for that either. Nor do I have any personal stake on what page remains, gets merged, gets deleted, gets featured, gets GA tag, etc. The "driven by sense of vengeance" is a flat statement that came out of clear misunderstanding.

  I don't know whether if you are the creator of the any of the articles that I have nominated for merger. I use twinkle tool to notify the user that has created the article of any actions that are taking place. Thewikizoomer (talk) 17:37, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Also note that I have proposed a lot of mergers in Wikipedia and I am active in doing them. Regarding the NTPC Power Plant articles, I'm following the list of projects mentioned in the NTPC Limited article. Thewikizoomer (talk) 17:44, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge / Redirect to Power sector of Andhra Pradesh as suggested by Nate over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andhra Pradesh Southern Power Distribution Company Limited. The sources added to this article are WP:ORGTRIV, and this company fails WP:NCORP on its own. Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:13, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge/Redirect per Dclemens as these companies are just divided by districts and don't do anything different other than manage their assigned district; if this was a regular business we would probably merge under the same grounds. Nate • (chatter) 22:52, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
