Talk:Marathon Martinez Renewable Fuels

The article highlights some key areas of the Golden Eagle Refinery's past. However, more detail on the refinery's positive and negative community impact would be appreciated. Furthermore, for being such a substantive refinery, the information is not current. The links cited on this page are out of date and need to be updated. KPrasad (talk) 06:21, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

External link deleted. This link was to PBF Energy who have never owned this refinery. The confusion likely arose because PBF bought the Shell Martinez refinery (a different facility) and renamed it as the Martinez Refining Company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.69.121.34 (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Martinez Refinery → Marathon Martinez Renewable Fuels – There are two refineries in Martinez. This article contained information about both of them and was very confusing. It has been cleaned up, but I recommend renaming this article "Marathon Martinez Renewable Fuels" and creating a new article named "Martinez Refining Company" for the other refinery. Both articles should have "not to be confused with" tags referencing the other article. This will help prevent any confusion moving forward. 205.155.148.225 (talk) 04:33, 23 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 15:15, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

• Comment Some links to reliable secondary sources would certainly be helpful; as it reads today, the article doesn't cite any references less than 8 years old. 162 etc. (talk) 17:13, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

  There is a refinery owned by PBF Energy Inc. called the 'Martinez Refinery' (source) which is located in Martinez, CA. The refinery mentioned above, owned by Marathon Petroleum, is a different facility and is currently in the process of being converted from refining petroleum products to manufacturing renewable fuels (source). It is an entirely different facility than that owned by PBF. It would be helpful to distinguish these two as they have completely different ownership and operational properties (they are two different, independent facilities).

  This is correct. The only thing I would add is the PBF Energy refinery is called "Martinez Refining Company" (source). This article should be named "Marathon Martinez Renewable Fuels" (source). As mentioned before, the name "Martinez Refinery" is too vague as there are multiple refineries in Martinez, and that is how this became a problem in the first place. 98.37.25.239 (talk) 20:07, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
