Oppose: company had a nearly 100-year history prior to its acquisition. If it is independently notable as such, it should maintain its own page. For an indication of precedent, numerous railroads (indeed most historic railroads) and other large notable companies that later merged into conglomerates or larger companies still have separate articles dedicated to them as independent companies, if they are sufficiently notable to stand on their own. Current status is irrelevant if the historical status is sufficient, and given the evidence produced here and in other readings, it seems it would warrant such independence.Morgan Riley (talk) 17:21, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Alcan. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

• Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20110903022730/http://www.aac.aluminium.qc.ca/e403.html to http://www.aac.aluminium.qc.ca/e403.html#date_4

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Y An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

Banbury sites

In Banbury, the two main facilities were on opposite sides of the Southam Road, just beyond the former railway bridge that carried the Oxfordshire Ironstone Railway over the Southam Road. The larger facility on the eastern side was the former Northern Aluminium works, which by the 1960s was known as Alcan Booth Extrusions. The smaller facility on the western side of the road was Aluminium Laboratories Limited, later Alcan Laboratories.

Alcan also had a number of facilities around the UK, at locations such as Invergordon, Kitts Green, Lynemouth and Rogerstone. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:03, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
