Huawei Honor → Honor (brand) – Suggest moving this article from Huawei Honor to Honor (brand). "Huawei Honor" is not the name of the brand, as evidenced by many sources, including Huawei, CNET, International Business Times (2015), International Business Times (2016), PCWorld, Digital Trends, TechWorld, The Economic Times, etc., etc., which all refer to the brand as simply "Honor". Currently there are no other Wikipedia articles about brands of similar name. I propose keeping "Huawei Honor" as a redirect to Honor (brand). Please note, I do have a conflict of interest here as I am working on behalf of Huawei, via agency Burson-Marsteller Hong Kong as part of my work with Beutler Ink, and would like other editors to review this proposed move. Thanks in advance for you help. Inkian Jason (talk) 14:46, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
- Weak Support - I can see that sources frequently identify the brand as "Honor". It is also clear that the names of the phones under the brand consistently start with the manufacturer name: Huawei Honor 7, Huawei Honor 5X, Huawei Honor 5c, Huawei Honor 4C. ~Kvng (talk) 15:08, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose current title uses WP:NATURAL disambiguation and accurately describes the topic. SSTflyer 06:52, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose – No benefit for readers at this stage. I understand that the company wishes to elevate Honor to an autonomous brand but today it remains closely associated to Huawei phones. Compare Mini (marque) which was transitioned from Austin Mini to a standalone brand after being purchased by BMW, so they could address other consumer segments than their main brand and develop a range of models instead of calling it the BMW Mini. But this took years to become common usage, and common usage is the key guideline in naming articles on Wikipedia. — JFG talk 09:39, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Requesting help to implement an expanded article
[edit]This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I have spent the last several months researching and writing an updated and expanded version of this article. I have been working with Huawei and Burson-Marsteller Hong Kong to ensure the article's accuracy, and was paid to complete this project as part of my work at Beutler Ink. The existing Wikipedia article has a single source and two banners identifying concerns (lack of sourcing and a need for more specific categories). My goals were to update and expand the article by providing a company overview and history, improve its sourcing and structure, and add information about Honor's business model and flagship products.
I won't be editing the article directly because of my conflict of interest. Instead, I've published my draft in my user space here, which editors may review and implement in the main space as appropriate. I'm fine with breaking the article down into sections, separating the discussions in new messages, if reviewing editors prefer. I believe this new draft is a vast improvement over the existing article, and I did my best to keep the content very matter-of-fact, neutral, and easy to verify, but I will let unbiased reviewers decide. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Inkian Jason (talk) 16:26, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Partly done @Inkian Jason: Hi, thanks for your edit request. I've taken a look at your proposed draft and I am mostly satisfied with it. I have now implemented all of it, bar one phrase:
- The company has described Honor as "a brand that's not afraid to do things differently, to be brave and bring about change".
- Although you have provided sources for this, this reads very promotionally and I have therefore removed it. It doesn't make much of a difference to the article anyway, but it sounds promotional (as I'm sure you'd agree). If you're adamant on keeping this phrase, then you may re-write it to make it sound more neutral. Also, I want to apologise for the delay in replying to you - there is a severe backlog. All the best and a happy new year to you, st170e 20:22, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
- @St170e: Thank you so much for reviewing this edit request. Your explanation is helpful. Hoping your year is off to a great start, and thanks again for your assistance. Inkian Jason (talk) 16:01, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
Edit request to update article
[edit]This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
On behalf of Huawei via Burson Marsteller Hong Kong, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I have a request for updating this Wikipedia article's "History" section. Honor has released a few additional products since the Honor 8, so I propose adding the following content after "Honor's third flagship phone, Honor 8, was also released in 2016":
Proposed text

In December 2016, Honor unveiled the Honor Magic, which was launched on the eve of the brand's third anniversary and includes artificial intelligence software designed to provide "intelligent interactive features" based on user data.[1][2] In January 2017, at the Consumer Electronics Show, Honor announced that the Honor 6X, which was previously available in China, would expanded into 13 additional markets, including the United States.[3][4] The phone earned "best of CES 2017" awards from several technology publications, including Android Authority,[5][6] Digital Trends,[7] Slash Gear,[8] and Talk Android.[9] The flagship Honor 8 Pro, known as Honor V9 in China,[10] launched in April 2017.[11] Honor's fourth flagship phone, the Honor 9, was released in June 2017,[12] and one million units were shipped within the first month.[13][14] References

- Hello, Inkian Jason, thanks for the invitation on my talk page. I am always willing to help and as you said this was not difficult in consideration. I can always count on your having your cats properly herded. A pleasure. I have marked 'green tick done' but please come review and let me know if you have any other needs, corrections, concerns.

Request to restructure the "Products" section
[edit]This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
On behalf of Huawei via Burson Marsteller Hong Kong, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I have returned with a request to restructure the article's "Products" section to give a clear understanding of the company's product lines. The below markup includes all of the products currently displayed in the article, and does not introduce or remove any sourcing. This is simply a request to re-order the current entries.
If the below markup were implemented, here's how the updates list would look:

If this list looks good to reviewing editors, here is markup for updating the section:

I have one additional minor request, which is to replace the infobox image showing the Honor 8 with File:Huawei Honor 9.jpg, which shows the Honor 9, the brand's most recent mobile phone release. Is there a volunteer who is willing to review this request and copy over the propose markup appropriately? Inkian Jason (talk) 16:02, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
- @D4R1U5: Since you helped with the Huawei Honor 9 request, I was wondering if you'd consider taking a look at this request to restructure the brand article's "Products" section and update the infobox image? I've provided precise markup to copy over if the proposed changes are appropriate. If you're not interested, no problem. Thanks again! Inkian Jason (talk) 19:49, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- @D4R1U5: Thank you for your help. I see there are two appearances of "<nowiki>**" (see Honor 7i and Honor Note 8), which is my fault. Are you able to fix this by removing "<nowiki>" and adding line breaks before the asterisks? I can provide specific markup if needed. Inkian Jason (talk) 20:15, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Page move
[edit]@Pbsouthwood: Hello! I noticed the Honor (brand) page was moved by User:Ahmadkurdi44 recently, but this talk page was not carried over to correspond with Honor brand. I think Honor (brand) is the more appropriate article title, but I will let other editors decide. My primary concern is keeping the article and talk page together, especially since I added a disclosure to Draft talk:Honor (brand) (formerly Talk:Honor (brand)). I should note, it's been a while since I've worked on this page on behalf of Honor, and it's changed a fair bit. Are you able to put these pages back together? Inkian Jason (talk) 15:16, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Pichpich: Bringing this to your attention as well, given your recent edit. Inkian Jason (talk) 16:09, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Inkian Jason:. No worries: there is currently no meaningful history at Talk:Honor (brand) so we can ask whichever admin moving Honor brand to Honor (brand) to also move this page (Draft talk:Honor (brand)) to Talk:Honor (brand). Pichpich (talk) 16:20, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- Inkian Jason. Please check that the correct page and talk page combination has been achieved. I do not know what User:Ahmadkurdi44 was trying to achieve, but it was not done correctly and I am not sufficiently familiar with these pages to be sure I have fixed them properly.
If you think the page should be moved to Honor (brand), start a discussion here, motivating the change. It looks quite reasonable to me, but I do not know why the current name was chosen. Perhaps Ahmadkurdi44 can explain their actions. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 17:11, 12 August 2019 (UTC)- @Pbsouthwood: There is already a tag at Honor (brand), so I will see what happens in the near future and then start a discussion if needed. Thanks for your reply. Inkian Jason (talk) 17:14, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
