this may be an ok category, but not so much for an article. RCHM 22:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. The fact that a list and a category might overlap is not grounds for deleting the list. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:40, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Could be a category and could also be a nice template at the bottom of car audio mfgs' pages. As a list it adds no information. SolidPlaid 14:03, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This list is as good as any other in WP. -- Blind  Eagle  talk ~ contribs  14:48, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nothing wrong with category/list/template duplication. Some people like chocolate, others prefer vanilla. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:26, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Actually, there is something wrong with category/list duplication. Categories maintain themselves - that is the beauty of them.  Manual lists must be maintained by human intervention.&mdash; Mrand  T-C 23:18, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes and no; it's easier to police changes to lists than to categories, thanks to the ability to monitor changes to the entries via your watchlist, and there's currently no method for providing a citation to support an article's inclusion in a category. Lists also have a substantial advantage in their ability to provide explicatory text to accompany their entries. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 00:32, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - This list is harmless, because every entry on the list is blue and presumably notable. But because it only lists the firms, and doesn't say anything about them it is no more useful than a category. If the list had any parameter, such as revenue or location, that it could be sorted by, it would be cool list. SolidPlaid 00:51, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I've tried coming up with some parameters, criteria that would make it a more relevant article other than a list dump, but as the other "deletes" have mentioned, there's not much meat to be had here.RCHM 02:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete more useful as a category. Willirennen 23:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * delete and use a category instead. stolenbyme 19:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
