Franklin Templeton India Crisis

The Franklin Templeton India crisis has no page. The links for Franklin Templeton India redirect to the mother business which has nothing about that Crisis.

Deletion of Franklin Income Fund

For a November 2004 deletion debate over this page see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Franklin Income Fund

What is the template for proposing deletion due to Advertising, Advertisement, or Blatant Commercial, or Spam?

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks.

Almost any article on Wikipedia could be accused of advertising; advertising for that particular object or idea being discussed. Just because this article explain the history of the Franklin Income Fund's investments, and they happen to be positive, does not mean it should just be shrugged off and deleted. Historical information and information describing what the object or idea is, regardless of whether it is negative or positive, should be acceptable.

I'm not sure though, Personally it sounds like an ad to me.--[[User:Marie Rowley|Marie | Talk]] 05:01, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The article looks MUCH better now!--[[User:Marie Rowley|Marie | Talk]] 06:02, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Galbraith

Article does not say much or link to John Kenneth Galbraith. Would like to know more about his influence on the founder and on the company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.151.46.161 (talk) 19:07, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Edit requested on March 14, 2017

President listed on page is outdated and needs to be updated. Jenny Johnson is the current president of Franklin Templeton Investments: http://news.franklinresources.com/news-center/press-releases/press-release-details/2016/Franklin-Resources-Inc-Announces-Leadership-Change/default.aspx

Edit Request

Franklin Templeton Investments' total assets under management (AUM) is outdated and needs to be updated. The current AUM, as of March 31, 2017, is $740.0 billion, source: http://news.franklinresources.com/news-center/press-releases/press-release-details/2017/Franklin-Resources-Inc-Announces-Month-End-Assets-Under-Management-4102017/default.aspx 50.247.238.161 (talk) 18:10, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Done. I also added a link to the 10-Q for those who are sceptical of press releases. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 00:20, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Racial matter

@GreaterPonce665: you reverted my edit that added the racial news event. Just putting here in case it becomes more of an issue relating to Franklin. I thought that the widespread coverage and Franklin sacking the employee was sufficient to make it WP:DUE, as normally these corporate articles have a controversy section for this type of stuff, but I am not that interested in pushing it. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 17:08, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Jtbobwaysf: Both sources cited in your reverted contribution report that the worker was placed on administrative leave, not "sacked" as you now put it. NedFausa (talk) 17:16, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

I can use whatever term I want on the talk page. You will note that was not the term I used in my edit. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 17:54, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Jtbobwaysf: Please cite the Wikipedia policy or guideline that allows you to deliberately spread a falsehood on this or any other talk page. NedFausa (talk) 18:19, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

WP:AGF [1] dude. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 20:41, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Jtbobwaysf: WP:AGF does not license editors to knowingly post false information, dude. Your claim that the worker was sacked came 44 minutes before Franklin Templeton's tweet announcing their decision to terminate her. Perhaps you're clairvoyant or have insider information. NedFausa (talk) 21:03, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@Jtbobwaysf: Thanks for the comment here. I want to assume in good faith that this was an instance of poor personal judgement by the VP lady (but I don't really know the person, so who knows!). If this turns out to be something of a pattern (à la Uber ), there will definitely be space for that here. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 17:33, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

It doesnt have to be a pattern to meet DUE. As long as the incident is noteworthy this article would be the place to put it. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 17:54, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

user: Ericwilcox Since this issue is receiving viral, global news attention, it is definitely relevant for this article on Franklin Templeton Investments. The firm has made a clear public statement regarding its decision to place Amy Cooper on administrative leave, and several thousand users across social media outlets are following this issue and particularly how Ms. Cooper's employer contributes to this story.

@Jtbobwaysf: Likewise, both user:GreaterPonce665 and User:NedFausa have engaged in spam and edit warring by removing all additions relating to this controversy --user:Ericwilcox

@Ericwilcox: please sign your notes using four tildes ~. You can read Wikipedia:Tips/How to sign comments. I think the editors claim it is WP:UNDUE and I am borderline on it. I suppose it depends if it continues for another day or two, or dies out. There is a good case for including it on the article as it received so much press. This quote [2] as well as the coverage of it in mainstream press is probably sufficient to be WP:DUE. @GreaterPonce665: you still opposed? Jtbobwaysf (talk) 20:44, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@Jtbobwaysf:, I still don't think this has anything to do with the company itself, but if you feel strongly about this, I won't revert you. This didn't happen on company property or as part of their doing business, so, to me, this is irrelevant as far as the financial company is concerned. Also, ping doesn't work sometimes. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 21:09, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

@GreaterPonce665: Unless there is consensus to immediately restore this disputed content, I shall revert it, as you yourself did earlier, on grounds of WP:NOTNEWS, which directs: Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style. (Emphasis added.) NedFausa (talk) 21:19, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Concur with User:GreaterPonce665 and User:NedFausa for the reasons stated. If you want to write news, go to journalism school. But that has nothing to do with Wikipedia. --Coolcaesar (talk) 00:01, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Also agree. This is a transient event that is not particularly notable with respect to the actual subject of the article. Shoehorning it in here simply because it's in the news and tangentially related to the company is not exactly an encyclopedic goal. Dyrnych (talk) 02:20, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

AngelaBurns (talk) 05:29, 27 May 2020 (UTC) According to people, she has been fired - not placed on administrative leave

References

More high quality coverage: Atlantic goes into the sociological aspects, and a human rights investigation. Relating to Franklin, a critique of their deft PR handling of the issue, and the issue caused Franklin's website to crash, and Barrons praises about Franklin's response. In depth coverage. Probably becomes its own article, as the coverage seems to continue. This should probably be added to this article, since we dont have another place to put it. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 21:29, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Jtbobwaysf: The ABC7 story mentions Franklin Templeton Investments only once in passing, and The Atlantic does not mention Franklin Templeton at all. Why are you offering those sources here? NedFausa (talk) 21:34, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

These demonstrate continuing widespread in-depth coverage of the event that points to notability of the event. This talk page is probably the hub for discussion of the incident and if it merits inclusion and or its own article. Is this being discussed somewhere else that you know of? Jtbobwaysf (talk) 21:40, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

The incident is being discussed at Talk:Christian Cooper. Please confine your comments here to how we can improve the Franklin Templeton Investments article space. As far as I know, there is no Wikipedia policy or guideline saying a talk page should be a "hub" or "placeholder" for prospective articles that are only tangentially related to the immediate subject. NedFausa (talk) 21:54, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Concur with User:NedFausa on this point too. --Coolcaesar (talk) 13:42, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

About my Mom's Estate

I've received mail from you but cant get on line, I don't know her unique password? 208.123.191.154 (talk) 03:12, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

The talk page is only to discuss improvements to the article, we cannot help you with issues you might have with Franklin Templeton Investments itself. I recommend you get directly in touch with them through their own website. — ♠Ixtal ^{( T / C )} ⁂ Non nobis solum. ♠ 13:08, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
