Point of this list

Is there a point to this list, other than a yellow pages of companies, practically none of which are notable enough to have their own wiki page? --Escape Orbit (Talk) 18:03, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, make that none of which are notable enough to have their own wiki page?
Wikipedia is not a directory. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 18:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply

Surely some Tanzanian companies are notable? Notability is not defined by the existence of Wikipedia articles, especially considering the systematic bias the project has. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:10, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, I wouldn't argue that none are. But if they are then they way to enter them into wikipedia is by creating a page of their own, and then listing them. Listing an entire page of red wikilinks (or external links) is not the way to do it. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 18:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redlinks are an established method of encouraging articles (
WP:BTW and all that}. Who would type something like Tanzania China Friendship Textile Company into the address bar when they could just click on a redlink with it all spelled out and even a brief description beside it. That said, this list could do with a massive cleanup. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:23, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply

Clear out list

Unless anyone has any massive opposition I am going to clear out all of the following from the list:

  • Companies with no Wikipedia article
  • Companies with only a link to their website (no established notability)

It will cut it down quite a bit but there is no way to verify most of the companies and it seems reasonable to cut them and wait for someone to build a relevant article for each one (if notable) --Errant

This article/list seems to have regressed over the last two years. I'm going to apply the same criteria again and clean up the list. Kuru (talk) 03:14, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
