Article listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion Apr 20 to Apr 26 2004, consensus was to keep. Discussion:

Please delete : Tattinger family and The Tattinger family ? both incorrectly spell the family name. I made a new page Taittinger family. JillandJack 15:13, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Why did you do that instead of using the Move Page function? Delete Taittinger family, and move Tattinger family to the correct spelling before it accumulates changes. -- Cyrius|&#9998 16:49, Apr 21, 2004 (UTC)
Have renamed the page to conserve edit history and fixed edits so that both pages up for deletion are now redirects. Vote to keep as is. -- Graham :) | Talk 15:32, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Fine now. Niteowlneils 21:43, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Founding of the Taittinger champagne house

This page claims that the Taittinger champagne house was founded in 1734, and the Pierre Taittinger page claims that the founder was born in 1887. Obviously these can't both be right... Can anyone clear this up with appropriate references?

According to a visit made to Taittinger in January 2008 the firm was founded in 1734. It was then called Fourneaux-Forest. It wasn't until 1930 I believe that the firm's name was changed to Taittinger following the merger with the firm of Pierre Charles Taittinger. Cobbweb (talk) 13:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this could link to List of rich people who make famous stuff. Or it could be a note under Tattinger at Champagne (beverage). Wetman 13:31, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

French?

Taittinger actually is of german origin, Elsass was / is german populated (people living there are originally german, the region was gifted to France after WW II only). Also the name Taittinger is typical alemannian (t.i german as the Alemanni are descendant of a german tribe, reaching NOW from parts of Austria and Switzerland up to Elsass, covering complete Baden-Württemberg). One can recognise them by their special dialect (which is even gramatically different from Bavarian dialects), no other german parts seem to understand. B.t.w. it is interesting, why the Taittinger famiy has some russian names always in their lines - Vasili, Vladimir. Anyone an idea? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.112.177.58 (talk • contribs) 31 December 2014
