List of biotechnology companies2

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Seems to be an indescriminate list. It would not be useful to trim this down to some form of managed list, because that would simply duplicate List of biotechnology companies. (The fact that this article has a "2" at the end already signifies it duplicates content in some manner.) Sh i r ik  ( Questions or Comments? ) 01:40, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - the link to this page is not showing up in the AFD tag on the article page (redlink).76.102.12.35 (talk) 02:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The link works but sometimes it appears as a redlink for unknown reasons. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 03:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - agree with nom, article has become unworkable as an indescriminate list. I don't see why some (make that a few)of these companies could not be added to the existing List of biotechnology companies if they are notable in their own right.

 * Delete an indiscriminate list, because it does not explain why some companies are included and some are not. It claims "top 100", but 1) this is not verified (or even attempted) and 2) by which means: revenue, profit, # of innovative products, employees, market share, # of patents etc. The list also breaches naming conventions (the "2" in particular) and is redundant to List of biotechnology companies.

 * Comment I believe the "Top 100" at the top is merely referring to the other article, List of biotechnology companies, and is not trying to claim this article itself is a list of the top 100. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 17:01, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone, I suggest an early WP:SNOW closure, as this will undoubtedly be the case.  JBsupreme  ( talk ) 08:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - appears to be a clear-cut case of WP:INDISCRIMINATE.  Cocytus   [»talk«]  21:29, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
