In an unpublished paper A. G\"ulc\"u introduced a generalized notion of strong summation termed "strong A-summability in the wide sense". We investigate this notion and clarify some points left unclear by the initial paper of G\"ulc\"u. We settle integrability of the $A$-distribution function under condition of finitely strong A-summability in the wide sense and analyze necessity of conditions to conclude finitely strong A-summability in the wide sense from $A$-distributional summability. In particular, we prove a sharp direct theorem as well as its corresponding converse theorem to describe connection of these notions. We also clarify connection of finitely strong A-summability in the wide sense and usual $A$-summability and compute the sum of a sequence from information about its generalized $A$-strong summation or its $A$- distribution. The paper ends with comments on the original work of A. G\"ulc\"u.\
