List of IT companies in Hyderabad

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

What's the point of this article? It is a list of global companies with supposedly a presence in the city. No sources to confirm any of them. These global companies have a presence in many cities in many countries. And the point is? I left a notice in the article's talk page a month ago asking for comments before the AfD. No takers. I say it serves no purpose. Delete. Alexf(talk) 00:48, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge with Software industry in Andhra Pradesh. Don't nominate this one also for deletion. Hyderabad is known as the IT hub. Having a list of companies in it is not a crazy idea. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 14:24, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Or merge with List of IT companies in India. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 21:13, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as it has been tagged as unsourced for more than six months. I doubt if we could get list sources for IT companies in a city, as every city is booming in IT (Hyderabad is not the only one) and the whole of India is experiencing a new economic growth in the 21st century, due to the presence of tons of IT companies. We cannot have a list for all that, can we? Secret of success  ( talk )  14:52, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Sources can be found. Maybe not a single source like a directory. But individual homepages would have sources. (Added one for Accenture.) These cities, Hyd, B'lore, Noida, etc. are known as IT hubs globally. They are known as places where all work outsourced goes. Ofcourse there is an IT company in every town. But maybe we can define the list in a better manner to get just limited enteries. Maybe on turnover (i doubt such info is available) or employee strength (that is bit possible). §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 08:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: List looks good, but doesn't sounds encyclopedic. Firstly half of them are not Indian owned, hence a category will be great but not the article space. Secondly, HCL is based in Noida, while Infosys is based in Bengaluru. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 18:24, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The list doesn't claim that these offices are India head offices. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 21:12, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * So that's the reason I had claimed that the list doesn't looks encyclopedic. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 11:20, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That makes it unsuitable for a category - the categories are only for companies' main locations such as head offices or registered offices. A list also allows additional information such as origin. Peter&#160;E.&#160;James (talk) 17:09, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
