List of Peruvian companies (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Listcruft, unmaintainable (unless it's going to run to many thousands of entries). Withdrawn nomination. Amists ^{talk • contribs} 11:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - arbitary list (no criteria for inclusion). A category would be better. MER-C 11:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Lists in general can be valuable because redlinks serve as a reminder of articles that need to be created. As for the concern about "no criteria for inclusion", WP:CORP probably serves as an adequate set of criteria. --
• Keep. Listcruft? Did you bother to check the supracategory Category:Lists of companies by country. Every country has a list, and I don't see parameters for inclusion on any of the lists including the United States. Do you have a problem with lists, or is your problem with Peru? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 17:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep That it may ultimately include "thousands of entries" doesn't seem to be remotely confirmed or even plausible at this point. The coverage of the developping world is poor at Wikipedia and lists involving those nations help with systemic bias. There is a category for these lists as someone mentioned. Lastly "Listcruft" is a disparagement, it's not an actual reason to delete anything.--T. Anthony 19:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Companies by country provides these lists in different format anyway - I should have been aware of supercategory and am withdrawing nomination Amists ^{talk • contribs} 01:04, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
