- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was no consensus (exactly split opinion, no overwhelming argument), but if no-one cares enough about this article to purge it of non-notable companies in the near future, I suggest a renomination. Incidentally, saying 'strong speedy delete' does not give your !vote triple points. --Sam Blanning(talk) 23:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"This List of Minnesota companies attempts to list all companies that are, or once were, headquartered in Minnesota". Sorry, but Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages. Punkmorten 21:45, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep with the provision that its purpose is to list all notable companies, meaning those with their own articles. JonHarder 22:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as redlinks can be useful suggestions for articles. The list should be notable companies, however, not all by any means. --Dhartung | Talk 03:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but needs some work to become more encyclopedic Atom 12:25, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Actually a useful list. —Brim 16:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Speedy Delete. The function of this article is already served perfectly well by the Category:Companies based in Minnesota tag on each company mentioned that has an article about it. There is absolutely no need to keep this page. -Amatulic 22:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Had it been a list of notable companies perhaps some purpose might be served but all companies is an impossible and pointless task as shown by how woefully incomplete the list is. The category is easier to maintain and does a better job. BlueValour 00:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I agree - the category is enough and this list is redundant. KrakatoaKatie 12:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
