Talk:List of concentrating solar thermal power companies

Please no external links
We need to keep this list free from external links, and focused on the most notable companies, or else it is liable to go up for deletion as happened with the PV list: Articles for deletion/List of photovoltaics companies Johnfos (talk) 10:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * You deleted the links again. The current list makes no sense, because some big players are missing. Not all companies make so much noise as Ausra. Luz II is the most notable company, because they have filed for the largest plant by the Californian Energy Commission. Furthermore, most of the people of that company where involved in the build of the SEGS plants.


 * So, if the lists stays like this, it is just an advertisement of your favorite Ausra. And I have to delete the entire list.Lkruijsw (talk) 20:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Without the other companies, the list makes no sense, because major players are missing (such as Luz II). If it becomes too many, than it is logical to remove entire list. Currently it is informative, for someone that wants that needs information.Lkruijsw (talk) 20:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

WP is not a collection of links, see WP:NOTLINK. Notable companies should have their own WP article, and then could be blue linked in this list. So please start an article on Luz II etc, and then we can include them here. Johnfos (talk) 00:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Johnfos has asked for a 3rd opinion on this. Johnfos correctly points out that Wikipedia is not a collection of links, therefore we should not have a list of external links here. What I suggest is to redlink the entries that are currently external links, i.e. Lloyd Energy Storage, so that articles can be created on those companies, should they be notable per WP:CORP.

Too many redlinks
Is Rioglass notable for some reason? It is the latest company to be added to this ever-expanding list. If a company is notable it should have its own article, even if only a stub. I plan to remove redlinks as non-notable and not worthy of inclusion in this list... Johnfos (talk) 00:00, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I added Rioglass because I know they want to become a mayor provider of mirrors for parabolic throughs. For a real article I don't have enough informations. But to my mind even redlinks are worthy information to show this company is active in the CSP-development. And the list is expanding as the CSP-industry is fortunately expanding at the moment. But you're right, more bluelinks would be much better, but to my mind nearly all redlinks are notable and I work in the CSP-industry(Lars9e (talk) 19:21, 13 August 2008 (UTC))

Lars, is there any chance that you could pick out the most notable of the redlinks and write a short stub on them? I'd be happy to help. Johnfos (talk) 00:04, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
