Title[edit]

Discussion[edit]

Esso has an agreement with Irving Oil to supply its stations with Gas in Nova Scotia and Irving in turn provides for gas in New Brunswick for Esso . Also any surplus production is sold to the Americian market .--Bill 20:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There were a couple of confusing sources on this. This New Brunswick government report states that "The Irving refinery in Saint John services only Irving outlets. The majority of the other outlets, regardless of brand are supplied from the Imperial Oil refinery in Dartmouth." Which seems to imply that Irving keeps to itself. It is far from clearly worded, and your chages are almost certainly correct. What we really need is an article on the Irving refinery in St. John, which as the largest refinery in Canada very much should have an article. - SimonP 22:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was moved to Dartmouth Refinery. The proposal seems reasonable, and absent any objections, I think it makes sense to preform this move. –Juliancolton | Talk 01:20, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Imperial Oil - Dartmouth RefineryDartmouth Refinery — According to the WP:naming convention the article naming should prefer what the greatest number of English speakers would most easily recognize. It also says that the names of Wikipedia articles should be optimized for readers over editors, and for a general audience over specialists. Most common name for this refinery by English sources is Dartmouth Refinery. As there is no other Dartmouth Refinery making the name ambiguous, it does not need to include the company name.

  • The lead of this article settles the question immediately: "The Dartmouth Refinery is...". Support.
