List of companies of Ahmedabad

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This list should be restricted to notable companies of Ahmedabad, in which case it is redundant to Category:Companies based in Ahmedabad Kilopi (talk) 21:33, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn. I was hoping that if it didn't get deleted, it could at least be brought into compliance with WP:LISTCOMPANY. I was wrong. In the future, I'll leave dealing with lists of companies either to every spammer wanting to include a malformed link to their two-person SEO shop or to editors with enough wikiclout to make their cleanup stick, whichever group cares more about spam on Wikipedia.

 * The way to deal with such issues is to remove innappropriate entries from the lists, not to throw the baby out with the bathwater by deleting the whole articles. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:38, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I tried that per postdlf's comment, but all the questionable entries are now back. I won't edit war against consensus, so I'll just stay away from them. Kilopi (talk) 20:51, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep, no valid deletion rationale presented. Restricting lists to notable examples is a completely run-of-the-mill editing task, not grounds for deletion (just remove the non-notable ones and you're done) and it's merely a matter of convention that article titles do not have "notable" in them. Redundancy to a category is also not a reason for deletion; see WP:CLN. postdlf (talk) 17:31, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * On a side note, this list should probably be expanded to a list of companies of Gujarat, given that in total there are only about 50 judging from Category:Companies based in Gujarat and Category:Companies based in Ahmedabad...but that's an issue for normal editing and discussion. postdlf (talk) 17:50, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Fine, I read WP:NOTDUP and so fixed it. Kilopi (talk) 22:46, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you mean you withdraw your deletion nomination? postdlf (talk) 22:48, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep no deletion rational per Postdlf above. OSbornarfcontribs. 23:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - No valid grounds for deletion have been provided. Also, per WP:NOTDUP, lists and categories being redundant isn't a valid argument for deletion. Northamerica1000 (talk) 14:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
