List of companies and organizations based in Bridgeport, Chicago

 * Delete This is not an article per se, but a list that is essentially a violation of WP:DIRECTORY and contains almost no info not covered in the Bridgeport article already. Furthermore, it is an arbitrary list that includes companies not based in Chicago, let alone the Bridgeport neighborhood (i.e. Jimmy John's).Ryecatcher773 (talk) 17:44, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom as arbitrary and unencyclopedic list, basically just a random slice of the phone book. I see no encyclopedic reason to catalog non-notable companies or organizations that originated in, are currently based in, or have locations in a single neighborhood of Chicago; certainly cataloging mere locations of companies there makes this a NOTDIR violation. If there are any notable companies headquartered in Bridgeport, that can be noted in Bridgeport, Chicago, or if any companies or organizations had a significant impact on the history of the neighborhood according to reliable secondary sources. And if that content were to grow large enough, it could be split off for size concerns. But none of this list fits the bill; otherwise we could just excise the contact info to fix it. postdlf (talk) 19:49, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This is an unencyclopedic topic.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:29, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
