Move Limited liability company#International equivalents into Private limited company[edit]

I think they deserve to remain separate. these are different entity types and should have a clear distinction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirkchisholm (talk • contribs)

@Kirkchisholm: I was not proposing to merge the two articles, just to move a section from one to the other. Private limited company is a generic concept found in legal systems of many countries, but the article Limited liability company is about its US-specific implementation. That's why I think that the International equivalents section should be moved into Private limited company and a link to the new location should be placed at the original location.

Let's set up a wikidata hierarchy of these terms. --Vanuan (talk) 15:31, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. So, the "International equivalents" section, could move to Private limited company to expand what is otherwise just a list; it then becomes a list and summary. Then the "Private limited company" article becomes the top of the hierarchy, from which other country-specific articles can then be linked, as, in most cases, they currently are.

The basic source of confusion is that different terms mean different things in different countries. For example, a U.S. LLC and a German Gmbh are close equivalents, while a U.S. corporation is closer to a "private limited company" unless it goes public. And very few countries actually use the term "limited liability company" in their legal statutes.

Many people say "limited liability company" but their country actually calls it something else. For example, many UK websites use the term "limited liability company" but that is actually a catch-all term for UK limited company limited by guarantee (Ltd), UK limited company limited by shares (Ltd), or Public limited Companies (PLC). Legally, "limited liability company" is not a valid entity type in the UK. WisTex42 (talk) 12:14, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technically a U.S. LLC is structured like a partnership with limited liability, and is not a private limited company, which typically has shareholders and a board of directors. A U.S. LLC is similar to a U.K. Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), the main difference being that a U.S. LLC can have one member, whereas a U.K. LLP requires two or more members.

Repeated insertion of a piped link[edit]

To editor Silver Hawks: Why are you repeatedly inserting the piped link? The markup [[Societ%C3%A0_a_responsabilit%C3%A0_limitata|società a responsabilità limitata]] is difficult to read and it produces the same result as [[società a responsabilità limitata]]. Petr Matas 14:04, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cause this is the article's name in the Italian Wikipedia. Silver Hawks (talk) 11:29, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That does not matter and the page name in English Wikipedia is identical anyway. I can see no difference except in readability of the wiki markup. Petr Matas 22:16, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correct the link as you wish if it's better for the page. Silver Hawks (talk) 11:06, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
