GPS systems

The paragraph "Galileo - the European system establishing GNSS, like GPS/Glonass/Compass/Beidou" Has a link from "compass" to a run of the mill compass article. It should go to Beidou-2 and the Beidou link goes to Beidou-2 which cannot be both links? I do not know how to change this. 194.146.246.70 (talk) 07:02, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Proposed merge with InterSense

InterSense is a subsidiary of the Thales Group that does not appear to meet notability guidelines (WP:NCORP, WP:GNG) on its own. I would propose a selective merge of non-promotional content to this article. signed, Rosguill talk 23:48, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

InterSense was the original company to develop MEMS based inertial based tracking. That history is the primary point of this article. If this article gets merged into that Thales Group, that history will be lost. signed, RobertAtac talk 21:17, 6 Aug 2019 (EDT)

"Merge" does not mean "delete". There is no reason for pertinent information to be lost. Captainllama (talk) 08:53, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

The history will be essentially lost when merged into the Thales Group as the Group is huge with many diverse holdings and product lines. Suggest a link from the Group page to this stand alone page. I worked pretty hard to get this little Wiki page up and I am against such a merge. signed, RobertAtac talk 11:03, 9 Aug 2019 (EDT)

Support merge: with a rewrite, especially of the intro, as per MOS:JARGON. Merge decisions shouldn't be affected by how much work a self-disclosed paid contributor has put into an article, or their concerns about loss of article prominence. Edit: And I've just found this showing that the draft was deleted on three occasions, including twice for being "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". Meticulo (talk) 11:24, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

That the page was deleted in the past has absolutely nothing to do with the concept of merging the article. I fixed all of the offending stuff that got it to be deleted in the past. Keep the article independent. signed, RobertAtac talk 20:03, 16 November 2019 (EDT)

Support merge given the lack of independent notability. I also note that the InterSense page misleadingly referred to it as a subsidiary of Thales; however, its own official page describes it as a brand and product line. I have therefore changes the first line, with a reference. Klbrain (talk) 10:15, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

InterSense was deleted on 3 October 2020 as an expired WP:PROD. If you want to restore it so content may be merged, please ping me. The lead of the deleted article said:

InterSense is brand and product line of Thales Visionix, a division of Thales Defense and Security Inc., which is part of the Thales Group.

InterSense (www.InterSense.com) (About) has only 56 employees, according to the deleted article, while Thales Group has tens of thousands. Category:Thales Group divisions and subsidiaries has 14 members, but I don't see an article about Thales Defense and Security Inc. It might make more sense to create an article about that Thales subsidiary first, then this content could be merged into that article after it was created. – wbm1058 (talk) 15:04, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
