[edit]

At least out of respect for the contributions of Dr. Paul Janssen to medicine, this company deserves an article instead of a "redirect". Pvosta 00:10, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not respectful. Paul Janssen would be a place to put material on a persons contribution to the world. Anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Is Janssen Pharmaceutica a current entity? Or has it been wholly shifted over to Jansenn-Cilag name? If so this article should focus on Janssen Phamaceutica as a historic entity, and all current activities material shifted to the current company name.--ZayZayEM (talk) 05:12, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Official name

[edit]

Hi User:Chefmikesf, do you know what the official name of this organization is? "Pharmaceutica" seems to be an old name, can you please confirm? The website link goes to "Janssen Pharmaceuticals," and I also see "Janssen Products" and "Janssen Global Services" (the name used currently on https://www.janssen.com/). - Indefensible (talk) 04:58, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Indefensible, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. For now I am working with you on the template box because I have COI with Johnson & Johnson. Below are two resources that may be helpful. Take a look.--Chefmikesf (talk) 18:23, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The SEC.gov list of Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries.
The link below shows you how Janssen operates in each country and region. Please read paragraph one, line 1, 2, and 3.
Thanks User:Chefmikesf, I would like to get these subsidiaries sorted out too if they are going to be listed in the updated template. "Pharmaceutica" seems to be only the original and Belgian name, and not necessarily the best name to use overall. "Global Services" seems to be just responsible for the main portal and not representative of all of the different national divisions though. - Indefensible (talk) 01:18, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Indefensible, Let me find out what the appropriate name for the article. What are your thoughts on temporarily removing "Janssen Pharmaceutica" from the Johnson & Johnson template box draft?--Chefmikesf (talk) 03:06, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger discussion

[edit]

I would like to propose merging Janssen Biotech into Janssen Pharmaceuticals. As far as I can tell, while these may once have been separate entities they have subsequently been reorganised into a single brand under Johnson & Johnson's ownership. As it is it is confusing as the two articles do not explain why they are separate. The external links on both pages now redirect to the same page (janssen.com/us). The separate origins of these companies can still be discussed in this article, but I don't think there's much value to two separate articles with very similar names (one of which appears to be defunct). Beevil (talk) 17:10, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Beevil: I can support a merge but I oppose deletion of content. Also, there is a good case for not merging. The Pharma company is 40 years old, consumed billions of dollars, consumed other companies with their own histories, and likely had big impact on a billion lives. Sources are slim and it is yet another company in a multi-trillion dollar space, but this is an organization with massive documentation somewhere. There is another org to consider, Janssen Vaccines, with a similar slim Wikipedia article and yet high consumption resources. I do not think we get too much clarity in merging the articles, and we may lose the historical narrative by combining multiple massive organizations into one timeline and story. That said, right now we are scarce on content, which is a typical reason for considering merges. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:31, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose merge, as I think that the clearest structure for readers is to keep these subsidiaries separate from Janssen Pharmaceuticals. They are adequately referenced to support notability, and the scope of their endeavor (and history) is sufficiently distinct that it worth treating separately.

As an employee of this company I can highly recommend merging all those separate articles (Janssen Biotech and Janssen Vaccines) into Janssen Pharmaceuticals. @Beevil is right. All those companies are operating under Johnson & Johnson as "The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson". The way it is now in wikipedia, is super confusing and rather leads to loss of valuable information e.g. about the history and how the business is structured. One article, containing all the information would be very helpful. 37.26.230.163 (talk) 14:16, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
