I noted that MIL-Davie Shipbuilding is listed in their respectives pages as the shipbuilder for the MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood and MV Caribou. It's not clear how that is different from David Shipbuilding. 98.158.123.93 (talk) 00:20, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning the merger of the following articles:

Support: I'm not the one who originally suggested the merge, and I can't find any comments anywhere, so here we are. Notability appears to be unclear for the last three, and it looks to me like this is the same company just under different names throughout its history. Therefore, they should be merged with each of the articles being incorporated into a subsection of the article's "history" section. - Sweet Nightmares 16:48, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just fell on this by accident - but a good job I did! Marine Industries Ltee (MIL - Sorel), was certainly NOT the same company as Davie and its history should NEVER be merged together. For most of its modern history (1940 to 1988), there were only TWO Directors of Engineering and Ship Design .. and I was one of them, so I probably have more data on this shipyard than anyone still alive today. Just briefly though for now ... MIL was unique in Canada, as being the shipyard who exported more ships and of greater variety, than any other Canadian shipyard (by far) and also, designed most of these ships 'in-house', which again was pretty unique. They gave their own 'Marindus' name to several series of cargo vessels and tankers ... starting with a 1300 s/t Coaster and finishing with a 23,000 hp, complex, multipurpose cargo vessel for Poland, of which 4 were built .. and these were the flagships of Polish Ocean Lines for several years. I understand that the last one was finally 'laid-to-rest' in a Korean scrap yard a few years ago. I will try to write more for this entry and I also have photos. Davie bought MIL around 1988 when I left, and then later closed the place. One competitor less for them ;-( During the war there were over 8000 employed there building Liberty-style ships at the rate of one per month ... even in the 70's there were about 5000 employed there, but there were then several divisions involving railway cars and hydro projects etc. More later but do NOT merge this with Davie Shipbuilding (that's in Lauzon) ... or 10,000+ men and women will turn in their graves!

I've closed this; there was no explanation given by the original editor for these mergers, and no rationale per WP:MERGE#Reasons to merge. Neither is it clear what should be merged to where. Also, there was no agreement in the discusson, and good reasons not to merge (different yards, different locations, different histories) presented. Xyl 54 (talk) 12:03, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
