Was this a formal name? Is it commonly used today? I think a hatnote would suffice. Either way, the definite article must be removed from this title. Srnec (talk) 03:53, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't a formal name (although it is the title of a book about the company). I agree that the article The is unnecessary. olderwiser 03:57, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the relevance of the Bay Company comes down to this: is anybody going to look for it under "Great Company"? Will anybody be surprised to find another Great Company occupying that articlespace? Srnec (talk) 03:58, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hard to say. I'm not convinced that we can assume anyone typing in "Great Company" is actually expecting the German mercenaries. According to this source, there appear to have been a number of bands of mercenaries known as "The Great Company" of one variety or another. olderwiser 04:31, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, it looks as if Great Company could apply to another company of the same time period. I withdraw this move request, standardise this article's title, and create a dab page. Now somebody can create the English company's article... Srnec (talk) 05:35, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most of this is one sided bullshit, how about an account by a German on the activities of this Free Company in Italia!?
