Hitachi Rail Italy → Hitachi Rail – Wanted to build consensus before changing the name of a major manufacturer. The website for Hitachi Rail lists its structure.

A global head office in London, with the headquarter for the specifically named Hitachi Rail SpA based in Naples (not Pistoia as the article suggests) - https://www.hitachirail.com/our-company/locations/

The overarching name seems to be Hitachi Rail with a head office in London

They then have 3 HQs

Hitachi Rail SpA (HQ in Naples) - focus of this article

Hitachi Rail STS (HQ in Genova)

Hitachi, Ltd. Railway Systems Business Unit (HQ in Tokyo)

All official documents for tenders are also made under this name and the website of Hitachi Rail makes no mention of anything called “Hitachi Rail Italy” anymore - https://www.hitachirail.com/press/#/

Seems a shame that following Hitachi Rail’s numerous acquisitions and restructuring to become a key player, has meant that their presence here is so disjointed.

support: yeah, why not. One thing that has to be pointed out (probably in the article) is that Hitachi already was manufacturing trains before they bought Ansaldo Breda. Having the former AnsaldoBreda article just under the title "Hitachi Rail" might imply that Hitachi's rail manufacturing business only consists of the former AnsaldoBreda (which it doesn't), especially since as of now Hitachi Rail is a redirect to a section in the main Hitachi article.

Support From what I found by looking up the company, the nom is correct that they no longer seem to use the name Hitachi Rail Italy. This move seems logical for that reason. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:14, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, this article is only about Hitachi's Italian operations that traded as AnsaldoBreda until 2015. Hitachi has a much longer rail manufacturing history in Japan going back at least until the 1920s, thus it is appropriate for Hitachi Rail to remain as a redirect to Hitachi.
