This topic fails WP:GNG because it fails the second part of the test: whether it should be covered in a standalone page. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, and that's all this article is. The event is ongoing and it is unknown if it will be completed, so it does not (yet) have a lasting effect under WP:NEVENT. The coverage of the merger has to date been WP:ROUTINE, another indication that this fails NEVENT. A redirect to Capital_One#Discover_Financial_Services is appropriate but was contested by the page creator so I am seeking consensus for a redirect via AfD. (Should the topic warrant a standalone page in the future, it can be restored and expanded.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:12, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Speedy redirect per nom. Discover Financial#History and Capital One#Discover Financial Services are the right places for this until and unless there is sufficient content to warrant a split. A standalone page is not yet warranted. Reywas92^Talk 03:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Keep This deal was announced almost one year ago. Since then, there has been continued major coverage. This article just must be updated and expanded. Thriley (talk) 07:17, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
• Support the nominator's motion seeking to redirect to Capital One#Discover Financial Services per the reasons mentioned. It's important for other editors to understand the nominator is not wishing to delete this article. – The Grid (talk) 15:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
