Talk:Ampol

Comment
John Christian Waston is given as a founder. I think this is wrong and the founder was Chris Watson(a former Prime Minister of Australia). My reason for this belief is that on Chris Watson's page he is credited with helping to start AMPOL. 118.211.62.21 (talk) 12:25, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Split discussion of Caltex
There is a split discussion in Talk:Caltex regarding splitting the Australian operations in Caltex into a separate article Caltex Australia. This may affect this article due to the potential rebranding of Caltex Australia to Ampol. Marcnut1996 (talk) 23:51, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

 * Caltex Australia → Ampol
 * Ampol → Ampol (historic)


 * Caltex Australia & Ampol → Ampol

– Caltex Australia has been officially renamed Ampol after annual general meeting today (14 May 2020). Therefore, in current and future contexts, Ampol will refer to the currently-listed company, and hence the Caltex Australia page should be renamed Ampol. The older Ampol will then be renamed to disambiguate from the new Ampol. This is similar to Transdev vs Transdev (historic). Marcnut1996 (talk) 09:32, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Why do we need two separate articles? Just merge them into Ampol Limited and have a section about the history...the Caltex merger...the sale from Chevron...the rename to Ampol Limited.

 * Nom: I have changed from a move request to a merge discussion. We will have to elect which edit history to retain. Marcnut1996 (talk) 07:47, 15 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Ampol article edit history should be retained. The Caltex Australia article, despite being more detailed, only split from the global Caltex article two months ago. DilatoryRevolution (talk) 14:48, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Merge and rename i.e. merge Ampol and Caltex Australia articles and rename Ampol. Similar to BHP that merged with Billiton to become BHP Billiton and was later rebranded BHP. Perrykake (talk) 06:19, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

I agree with DilatoryRevolution in retaining the Ampol history. Just need to build in the sections from the Caltex article that are missing from the Ampol entry. Alan Cramer (talk) 08:57, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

I have made some significant headway into merging the article contents over to the Ampol page. Feel free to review it and make changes there. If everyone is satisfied, we will remove this article's contents and setup a merge redirect. If you wish to continue Talk discussions, I suggest they be made over there as well. Alan Cramer (talk) 00:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

I have added the contents of the Talk page to retain it's history here. Alan Cramer (talk) 00:45, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Nom: Since there is a clear consensus by four users and the contents have already been moved into Ampol article by User:Alan.cramer, there is no point with continuing the discussion. Hence I will close the discussion. Marcnut1996 (talk) 02:20, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
