Talk:Caltex

message: Article says, "in 1942 ... Because Mobil was the only American petroleum company operating in Australasia at that time, there was a dilemma that was only resolved when the United States Department of War convinced Standard Oil of California and Texaco to set up a joint venture in Australia and New Zealand." But Caltex page http://www.caltex.com/corp/en/History_Origins.asp says that Caltex was operating in Aust & NZ from 1936. Nurg (talk) 22:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

message: It was proposed by ScottDavis on 26 December 2019 that Caltex#Australia be split into a separate page called Caltex Australia.
===Discussion===
*Support, with the final name of the separate article to be decided in May 2020
:I support the split for these reasons:
:1. The content about Australian operations is detailed enough to be its own article.
:2. Caltex Australia is no longer owned by Chevron, and it will certainly no longer be known as Caltex anymore.
:What's left in the Australian section in this article should be limited to Caltex's history in Australia prior to its merge with Ampol in 1995.
:Until May 2020, the new separate article should be known as Caltex Australia. If the name Ampol is approved as the new name, then two possible outcomes are:
:*1. Caltex Australia page is renamed Ampol, while the older Ampol page is renamed Ampol (historic) or similar. The Ampol Singapore section will be moved into the new Ampol article as it is a recent entity.
:*2. Caltex Australia content merged into Ampol, with the whole article outlining the entire Ampol/Caltex Australia history since 1936. I do not recommend this as the old and new Ampol are separate entities.
:However, if Caltex Australia rebrands into a different name, then without question, Ampol will stay the way it is, and Caltex Australia page is renamed to its new name.
:All of these can be discussed in a separate move/merge discussion in May 2020. Marcnut1996 (talk) 23:48, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
