- Merge and redirect to Monster (website), the now-parent company. Plausible search term &c. --Dhartung | Talk 08:24, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What makes this company notable is the popularity of its subsidiaries. The largest subsidiary, for example, has over 10,000 members. "If the subsidiaries are so popular and notable, why just just write articles about them?" you ask. A description of the subsidiaries would be incomplete without the context of this larger entity, Affinity Labs. A section about PoliceLink has been added to the Affinity Labs article to farther flesh it out. The article is too short, and as a result a "stub" tag has been added so that as people search for Affinity Labs, the article can be expanded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teckdiva (talk • contribs) 18:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
An applicable analogy can be Monster as the U.S. and Texas as a state. Texas needs its own article because it is independent, with its own inner workings just as much as it is ruled by a higher governing power. Affinity Labs is a state in the Union of Monster Worldwide, with its community sites being populated cities.
