Talk

Shouldn't Marston's Brewery redirect to Marston's plc rather than vice versa? Or better still, interlinked articles on the two subjects.Major_Clanger (talk) 19:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Naming convention for brewery articles: WP:Brewery name. SilkTork *^YES! 09:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other brand

I note that Marston's also brew Sainsbury's own-brand India Pale Ale, at least so it says on the label of the bottle that I'm currently drinking. Beer experts can insert this where it makes sense in the article. Lexo (talk) 01:20, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Marston's Mike Cline (talk) 18:13, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Marston's plc → Marston's – This article now seems to have settled at Marston's plc rather than Marston's Brewery, but there is no need to include the company suffix in the title per WP:NCCORP. Marston's already redirects here. Interplanet Janet (talk) 14:29, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. No need for plc, look at the vast number of articles on FTSE 100 Index or FTSE 250 Index. Zarcadia (talk) 18:48, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. We do not usually include plc, Inc., Ltd., and so forth unless needed for diambiguation. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 21:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Either Marston's or Marston's Brewery. Looking at other brewery pages, they seem to conform to the "Tetley's Brewery", "Webster's Brewery", "John Smith's Brewery", "Boddingtons Brewery" model. Farrtj (talk) 13:49, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Sale of breweries

Due to the proposed sale of the breweries to Carlsberg Group, the name of this article should be changed to Marston's Plc to reflect that its now only a pub owning business. References to the breweries should be in the past tense. Regards --Devokewater (talk) 11:30, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, @Devokewater the article now combines 2 entirely separate corporate entities and hence seen reads as rather confused and confusing. However the content is split there needs to be separate entries, one titled 'Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company (CMBC)' and the other 'Marston's Plc' as you say. Hope helps --JSN2849 (talk) JSN2849 (talk) 20:59, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Create new pages

As this first and formost about the brewing company, should this be renamed to reflect what the company now is which is Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company and a new page created to reflect Marston's PLC, which now concentrates on the pub and inn's side of the busness. 77.103.105.243 (talk) 18:16, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I have created a new page for Marston's plc. I am content to move this page to Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company if there are no objections. That said, there is a naming convention for brewery articles: WP:Brewery name. Dormskirk (talk) 18:50, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
