Talk:Caltex Australia

Requested move merge 14 May 2020

 * 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.

Simples. Alan Cramer (talk) 10:30, 14 May 2020 (UTC)


 * 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.

I have moved the discussion over to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ampol#Move_discussion_in_progress which is more appropriate for going forward. Comments welcome. Alan Cramer (talk) 00:48, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
