Talk:Pechiney

Untitled
I rewrote the language of the article to help it be more readable and user-friendly to those who are most comfortable with the English language. I changed very little of the content and essence of the article. Stevenmitchell 12:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

First Paragraph
You know, Pechiney is still a major aluminum conglomerate based in France; it's just that it is now a subsidiary of Alcan in Montreal. The sentence as it stands doesn't really make a lot of sense. It should be edited.--McTrixie 21:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I am a grammer NAZI —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.220.204.212 (talk) 07:22, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Obviously not a spelling or punctuation Nazi. On my planet we spell it grammar.

I have worked in the industry for some 20 years. I used to deal with people at Pechiney. Those people then started to work for Alcan and I dealt with Alcan. Now I deal with the same people and they work for Rio Tinto Alcan.

www.pechiney.fr does not lead anywhere anymore. A Google search for Pechiney leads you to an Alcan site (Rio haven't quite eased their name in at domain level) and that site bears Rio Tinto Alcan as the main heading. Drilling down further we find that all of the old Pechiney assets are now re-labelled Rio Tinto Alcan assets, including the alumina refineries and aluminium smelters. -  130.116.161.9 (talk) 01:25, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Merging Brandeis Brokers into Pechiney
I assume there will only be two opinions on this as there have not been a lot of contributors to this article. Here are my thoughts:
 * This company is probably not notable despite the fact that it was old.
 * I have found very little about the company other than its shutdown in 2000/2001 and this does not establish notability by itself
 * this is better served as a subsection of its parent company where it can be worked into the history section.
 * This is an orphan article, with no context or real information. By redirecting to the main article about Pechiney at least the reader gets some more context.

I offered up that if you want to do more work here I would hold off but I am not sure that is your intention. If you can address the notability, context and content issues I will back off as I am generally fairly inclusionist in my views. But having a random stub out there does not add much. |► ϋrбan яeneωaℓ  •  TALK  ◄| 21:40, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
