Merge Discussion in 2009[edit]

Achieve of the merge discussion in 2009. Aeonx (talk) 01:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In late 2007 Macquarie Bank Limited, one of Australia's largest financial services companies restructured into Macquarie Group Limited. The new controlling entity is an influential part of the business landscape, primarily in Australia but has operations worldwide, and should not be deleted. Josh.ob.id.au (talk) 10:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it should not be deleted, but clearly the Macquarie Group is an extension and continuation of Macquarie Bank Limited. The former has but a stub here in Wikipedia, while the latter is a Start. I'd most strongly recommend merging the two articles under Macquarie Group, emphasizing the history of the enterprise, and putting in significantly more details on the Macquarie Group of today. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 22:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: The article on the MacQuarie Group is too small right now. There is a lot of research that needs to be done on this company if they are buying up infrastructure around the world. Chadlupkes (talk) 03:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: for reasons above; and: macquarie's banking operations are quite small. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.47.112 (talk) 20:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: for the reasons stated above Dormskirk (talk) 17:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Data deletion[edit]

The posting of a single years results is a valid piece of information, especially as there is a notable absence of any other financial data - i.e. indicating size of operation.
Notwithstanding beung updated by more recent information, it is a valid and verifiable piece of information. The fact it probably has been superseeded is no cause for deletion. --Keith 15:12, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism?[edit]

Seems odd there is nothing negative or criticism of its opaque practices listed here, things like this for example ought to be mentioned: https://usa.streetsblog.org/2014/11/19/how-macquarie-makes-money-by-losing-money-on-toll-roads/ LamontCranston (talk) 04:25, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. How can this be flagged? 2A00:23C7:6082:3401:3538:3F9B:76D9:D526 (talk) 22:41, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And why isn't their role in the Thames Water scandal, and resulting pollution of waterways, even mentioned? This seems like a remarkable omission considering the ongoing crisis.
