List of 2,4-D manufacturers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This form of standalone lists does not contain any encyclopedic information. As the opening statement is referenced, that sole sentence could be incorporated in 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (without listing all the companies). Dirk Beetstra T C 10:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - Article is supported by one source. That source itself says that it lists "pesticide products that contain 2,4-D, Carbaryl, Diazinon, Diuron, Malathion, Triclopyr BEE or Trifluralin" which are all different chemicals and the document doesn't say which chemical is in which product. Additionally, the "company" column is not "manufacturers" but rather is  "Company/distributor name".  So the source doesn't support the content.   Finally, the EPA website doesn't make clear when this document was generated.  If you click the "info" button on the EPA page (menu bar, blue "i" all the way to the right) you see that the EPA doesn't list a publication year.  Couple things there make it look like it may be from 2000 but that info page also says it part of some pre-1976 index so it could be much older.   And I agree with the OP that no "who cares" if provided so it fails Notability.Jytdog (talk) 11:32, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete&mdash;The fact that a list exists within a government regulatory body is not sufficient for notability. The article misrepresents both the companies (who are distributors and/or manufacturers, not just manufacturers) and the chemicals (per Jytdog); that's a solvable problem, should other WP:RS be found.
