– Marex Spectron is now operating and trading under the brand Marex. The website for Marex Spectrum now redirects to Marex, therefore the page title should be changed to reflect the new situation. the Marex page is being used to forward to the unrelated Terbutaline page and we request priority to use this page BCOMMS107 (talk) 08:47, 11 May 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 12:31, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 18:23, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Note: Marex now titles a page with significant content and so it is ineligible to be a target "new" title unless it is also proposed to be renamed. This request has been altered to reflect that fact. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. ^put'r there 17:47, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

• Terbutaline is sold under the brand name Marex in India, and the Terabutaline page gets 6 times the pageviews that Marex Spectron does. This should probably be discussed before moving. --Ahecht (TALK

• Marex (formerly Marex Spectron) recently announced that it plans to list on the London Stock Exchange and will become a listed entity, which will likely drive heavy amount of traffic from shareholders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BCOMMS107 (talk • contribs) 10:28, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose no evidence that this company would become PT by either criteria. Not even for (company) given the cluster of Florida companies name Marex and MarEx which may or may not be related to each other. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:07, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

However a GBook GNews search also indicates that the brand probably isn't a primary and case for a primary redirect is weak. Converting without prejudice to a dab. @Ahecht: do you want to make a case that the pharma brand passes PT? In ictu oculi (talk) 15:10, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

I honestly don't know enough about Indian sources to judge whether the drug name is primary. I moved the discussion here from WP:RM/TR only because there didn't seem to be a clear case that this was a non-controversial move. --Ahecht (TALK

• Support move to Marex (British company), with Marex being a dab page. 162 etc. (talk) 23:16, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Support this alternative. No evidence that this company is or will become PT of Marex. Andrewa (talk) 13:01, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Article updates

Hi, my name is Nicola, I am an employee at Marex. I wanted to approach the Wikipedia community to request a number of factual updates to the page. As an employee, I’m keen not to make the changes myself but work with a neutral editor. I have included the changes in a draft updated article below.

The changes focus on updates to company leadership and notable acquisitions as well as the company filing for an IPO.

Please do let me know of any questions or feedback. I look forward to collaborating with the Wikipedia community on this article. NicolaRatchford (talk) 09:43, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
