Hyphen Discussion

I am not sure what happened to the talk page but what has been done is the page has been moved from Dunder Mifflin to Dunder-Mifflin (like it originally was) as that is what the offical NBC site lists it as. I've fixed most of the redirects (minus the talk pages). Epson291 22:32, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I thought we had agreed previously that it was "Dunder Mifflin" with a space not a hyphen, based on the official logo and other props. Perhaps NBC and Reveille disagree. Given that someone else went through and deleted all the hyphens a few weeks ago, I think we should just leave things however they are until a final resolution is reached. -- Raymondc0 05:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The problem with using the logo as a source is that the name is split over two lines. Not exactly open to the use of a hyphen. Also, I know not an "official" source... but Jenna Fischer's MySpace uses the hyphen (and let's face it... with the number of times she's read "Dunder-Mifflin, this is Pam." off the script, that's probably a pretty good bet on how it should be.) —Fumo7887 (talk • contribs) 14:23, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I did notice that in the episode "Office Olympics", the paper banner the cast hangs in the kitchen says "Dunder-Mifflin" (with the hyphen). —Fumo7887 (talk • contribs) 18:57, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I had previously changed as many pages as I could think of to change to Dunder Mifflin (no hyphen) based on a previous discussion on this page. I noted today the main The Office page had it hyphenated again and I sort of rashly changed it, but then I reverted it as I realized this discussion was going on here anew. I checked a few other pages and they are still without hyphen so -- I care not which way it goes (I actually favor the hyphen myself), but I will be willing to help set them all to whatever is decided. I'm a little bit of a consistency whacko, so... yeah. :) Cheers, Fieryrogue 20:41, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I completely agree with you on consistency, its too bad the old discussion got lost, but, as I said, the best piece of concrete evidence I've seen so far is the scene from "Office Olympics" and I would consider Jenna Fischer's blog a pretty good source. As this page was moved 2 weeks ago and no dispute has surfaced, I would say we should go ahead and change to "with" the hyphens. I know I've been doing that as I've been navigating around. —Fumo7887 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Awesome. I always felt the "the logo has no hyphen" argument was a bit weak too, and if I had noticed the "Office Olympics" banner I would have made that canon in my mind too. Aside from I would have just hyphenated such a name anyway, but alas... anyway, I will be glad to keep my eye out to help get these back to With Hyphen. Yay! Fieryrogue 22:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I have to respectfully disagree that in the show Dunder Mifflin has a hyphen. While having a hyphen is grammatically correct we have to follow the show's use (much like how The 40-Year-Old Virgin is also improperly hyphenated) and even though there's a hyphen in the banner on the episode "Office Olympics" I've seen the company's name without a hyphen more times in the show, mostly very quick shots like on a binder, but it's been shown without a hyphen. - Throw 08:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, even to cite an "official" source, the NBC website references it with a hyphen as well. —Fumo7887 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

The actual show isn't official enough? - Throw 09:15, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

But that's what we're saying here... The show isn't consistent... —Fumo7887 (talk • contribs) 14:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Wow they're making this hard on us. The new Dunder Mifflin page has all references to no hyphen. This is very solid grounds for moving the page back to "Dunder Mifflin". Thoughts? I'm just afraid of ending up in a situation where the page gets moved every time a new piece of evidence proves the other side, as this is clearly an issue of inconsistency. —Fumo7887 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

As no argument has been brought up, as well as additional evidence in "Fun Run" on no-hyphen, I'm moving the article and will also work on changing links. Help in this field would be helpful. —Fumo7887 (talk • contribs) 05:31, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
