[edit] Merge ?
- Support i support the proposed merging of the "Private Equity" and "private equity" articles. I have no idea why these exist as two separate articles and, to the best of my knowledge, there is no reason for these to remain as distinct entries. Furthermore, this merge will improve the quality of the (combined) article. Lesotho 12:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Support Hi Even I support the idea of merging these two articles for the reasons mentioned above. I would also request you to retain the name "Private Equity." Regards, Jatin —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.211.173.52 (talk • contribs) 09:30, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- Support yes, they should be merged under "Private Equity" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.42.224.75 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Support Yes. Without question merge them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.164.55.223 (talk • contribs) 06:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Support yes, merge the two pages. Both pages discuss the same exact content. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.174.172.166 (talk • contribs) 19:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- Support yes. Please merge and keep the capitalized version. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.125.111.50 (talk • contribs) 00:45, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Support I agree —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.225.90.10 (talk • contribs) 18:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Support I think we're all agreed then. We'll merge them. What fun! A. Facetious Git —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 55.201.35.50 (talk • contribs) 18:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree While the "Private equity" article speaks exclusively about "private equity funds" the "Private Equity" one speaks about both "private equity shares" as opposed to "public shares" and at the same time about "private equity funds". In fact the "Private Equity" article may lead to confusion because it speaks about two different concepts without clearly diferentiating them. If they are merged, these two different meanings should be clarified. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.145.59.26 (talk • contribs) 07:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

- Note that there is an article Private equity fund that is barren and could use a lot of the information in this article on said subject. I'd suggest a copy & paste of the Private Equity Funds section but there's probably a more elegant way of doing it that I'm unaware of.
