List is a violation of WP:NOT as wikipedia is not a service directory, nor a webhost. It is a "list" which is more properly a category for those companies which are actually notable. The recent changes don't make these providers anymore notable than a number of other companies that happen to provide IT service management. PROD was removed simply because another user added a couple of companies that I pointed out were IT service management vendors. I could name hundreds more it dosn't mean they need to be added to the list or used by some as an excuse to include essentially non-notable companies within the body of the encyclopedia.

 * Categorify. Or is it "categorize"?  Or maybe "categorifiable"...  However you do it, userfy for creator or other interested party so he or she can then create a slightly broader category (if one doesn't already exist) and tag relevant articles appropriately.    user:j    (aka justen)   06:46, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
