Use of name Alstrom with an "r"

In one place in the article the company name is spelled "Alstrom" with an "r". Was this ever an appropriate name for the company or another related rail company? I ask because I came here specifically looking for references to the name with an "r" as I remember it once being called that way.

Some pages using the name both with and without the "r":

List of products is overwhelming

We should either trim this down to the bigger product "families" (Aveila, Aventra, Metropolis) -- or split off to a bigger "List of Alstom products" page -- or both. Objections? RickyCourtney (talk) 22:16, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Alstom Australia merge proposal

Alstom Australia is a largely uncited, stub article about a relatively small branch office of Alstom. Propose the cited bits be incorporated into this article and Alstom Australia set as a redirect. Bagufleat (talk) 03:55, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Was literally just created by @ThylacineHunter within the last 24-48 hours. While it's not technically a content fork, I also question its notability. I'm not fully aware of Alstom's international operations, but there could be be more significant/important subsidiaries of Alstom than the one in Australia and/or New Zealand, which don't have their own articles. I'm leaning towards a support, but I don't have enough information to do so. I wouldn't think a separate article on something like McDonald's Australia is necessary, right? A discussion of interest can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian Transport#Scope of project. Fork99 (talk) 19:16, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment, Alstom's Asia Pacific operations account for 14% of its revenues, so Australia will only be single digit. With 1,600 employees, Australia and New Zealand account for 2% of Alstom's total workforce of 80,000. By both these metrics, it is small. Bagufleat (talk) 01:48, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

@Bagufleat: You can and should close this as consensus reached, and start merging it yourself. Per WP:MERGE, anyone, including the initiator of the proposal can close a merge discussion, determine consensus and merge. Make sure to follow the guidelines outlined there. You could have just boldly merged it yourself in the beginning as well. Fork99 (talk) 16:31, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Why would we need to create an entire page and not make a paragraph about it Gradientgamer (talk) 19:16, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Actioned, has been three months and there have been no objections. Bagufleat (talk) 01:14, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Alstom Australia and New Zealand

The UGL Australia article says UGL owns Alstom in Australia or something. Can someone verify this? Because

• This article does not mention it (consider adding some sort of mention to it if it is sort of right)
• The website does not mention it or operate in an independent manner
• The above issue does not mention it
• Alstom acquired Bombardier Transport (and seems to now use the Alstom name)
