Exterran Holdings, Inc

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be a vanity/advertising page for a non-notable corporation. Salimfadhley (talk) 16:34, 21 December 2013 (UTC)


 * First of all, this is a public company listed on the NYSE and also appeared in some other wiki pages, which means it is informative for many potential readers. Besides, the complex history or organizational structure means it needs more contributors to improve it but not to delete it at all. Many thanks for your advice!Hemambahe (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 14:12, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep $2 billion public company that trades on the NYSE. The corporate history is a bit complicated, but the component companies go back many decades. Plenty of coverage in reliable independent sources to be found. Candleabracadabra (talk) 17:10, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The criteria for inclusion is WP:N. It might be that the companies held by this holdings company are notable but we'd need coverage specifically about this business. --Salimfadhley (talk) 18:45, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I am inclined to disagree. It seems to me that if company A is the sole owner of company B, then coverage of company B is prima facie coverage of company A. The idea that companies A and B are distinct juristic persons is a legal fiction that may not bear any relation to reality (as indeed is the entire concept of incorporation).

 * Keep. Coverage in the NYT, the WSJ, CNN and Bloomberg. Included in the Fortune 1000. One of the largest companies in America. Billions of dollars. James500 (talk) 13:57, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'd be curious to see what you found in WSJ etc for this company. My Google search came up with lots of hits but nothing significant only press releases published via Business Wire in Forbes, WSJ etc. There are lots of articles about the company in Seeking Alpha, but I'm not sure if that's considered a reliable source on WP as its basically a blog forum with some editorial oversight.-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 00:56, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. A company whose stock is traded on the NYSE is sure to have enough information available that an article can be written about it. However, move to Exterran Holdings per WP:NCCORP (the current title is missing a period at the end of "Inc", and "Inc." should preferably not be included in the title anyway). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:19, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
