However, this company wiki may need a re-think due to the size and structure. It is also subject to a number of M&A's and internal changes so needs to be reviewed for consistancy in associations. Jackobs (talk) 21:28, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Some years ago I remember Leighton shares going up like a rocket which was the first time I heard about the company. Then came all kinds of mentionings of disaster when Hochtief etc became involved and as an Australian I found it a pity that this Australian company had not remained Australian. I am no expert and have no specific interest in this but after hearing that Public Private Partnerships can be more expensive than pure public structures I researched this and found that Leighton had hundreds of millions of losses through Public Private Partnerships because the prior assessments were obviously wrong in several or all cases. 
Is it not relevant what caused a company to be so wounded that it was taken over? We should be interested and informed because NOT learning from cases is ...... stupid? 2001:8003:A0D2:A100:BD78:60F1:447C:4A45 (talk) 04:12, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Thiess is a major entity in itself, enough so that I think it could (and should) be broken out into a seperate article. CIMIC simply is its parent organisation, but Thiess operates completely independently. I think there is a strong case for seperation when the fact that one of Thiess' subsidiaries, Thiess Contractors Indonesia is an article in itself. ItsPugle (talk) 08:01, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose. There are too many articles on subsidiaries on wikipedia already. It would be better to improve the quality of the CIMIC article. Dormskirk (talk) 10:59, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I think there's a strong case for Thiess to be its own article. While it most definitely a subsidiary of CIMIC, it's a completely seperate entity (it doesn't share offices, staff, finances etc). Plus, I'd be very suprised to find someone who would be looking around for Thiess information and would be happy to only find CIMIC information; they're completely different in same way that Microsoft is the owner of GitHub.

text:  Thiess Contractors Indonesia exists, but is not a great article either. English language sources should be easier to find for the Australian company, and Special:WhatLinksHere/Thiess Pty Ltd should give some good starting points if all those links are cited. --Scott Davis Talk 06:50, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

text: Back to the topic for "". It was acquired by Leighton Holdings in 1983 according to this wiki article. Thiess still have different brand and presumably worked as a separate incorporated entity . If there is source to prove its WP:GNG and WP:NCORP, then it is totally worth to split and may be boldly to do it. Unless people like to challenge something that passing WP:GNG and WP:NCORP in WP:AFD for their WP:IDONTLIKEIT Matthew hk (talk) 01:21, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I expect that Thiess Pty Ltd would fairly easily pass WP:GNG, and if someone wanted to, they could probably build an article using the references on inbound links to it. Unfortunately, the attempts by a connected user did not create a good starting point. My "Oppose" is about WP:SPLIT, not WP:AFC. There is simply not enough in this article at present to split out. --Scott Davis Talk 23:02, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

text: Maybe the failed attempt to create an article gives clues of things to look for, but that promotional attempt didn't bother to provide references for any of the statements, nor wikilink any of the claimed projects to make it easier to pick up from. It looks like an earlier version provided some wikilinks, but still no references. --Scott Davis Talk 23:13, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that wikilinks are a good starting point because if the projects cannot be wikilinked to projects, then by implication the projects are not notable. If you look at Balfour Beatty for example, all the projects listed are wikilinked and by implication are notable. But we would still need independent citations.

replies: text: , The failed attempt is primary due to  is a blatantly paid editor and nothing to do with WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. Matthew hk (talk) 02:51, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I recognised that, and encourage anyone who feels so inclined to either add Theiss info to this article, or do a better job of a sourced and NPOV new article. --Scott Davis Talk 03:16, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It seem your are suggesting  is related to CIMIC without any evidence. Matthew hk (talk) 03:24, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added some of the notable dams, prisons etc that Thiess built. The coal mines are quite difficult because some of them go back to the 19th century: by implication Thiess simply undertook some ongoing capital works there. Dormskirk (talk) 12:00, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't mean , I meant , who has made previous attempts to replace the redirect at Thiess Pty Ltd. Sorry for any confusion. --Scott Davis Talk 14:45, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: After having built up some meaningful material on Thiess, I would now be OK with spitting it out as a separate article, and would be content to action that if others are also OK. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 15:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you. I have no objection to the existence of a separate article. --Scott Davis Talk 00:22, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that. A fully-referenced article can now be found at Thiess Pty Ltd. There may be more room for improvement. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 01:04, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
