List of companies of Malta

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While in principle, this is a fine topic for an article, in practice, this is a list of redlink companies, or spamvert links to external sites (and if the editing history is closely reviewed, primarily by COI editors) wikipedia is not a directory, especially of non notable companies.

Either : This needs to be pruned down to what policy allows (leaving it pretty much empty)

 * Keep I have pruned the list to just bluelinks, and from the navbox at the bottom it seems evident that this type of article (list of companies of ...) is a fairly standard type of list. OSbornarfcontribs. 16:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I would vote for keep in the pruned form, if there is consensus that all of the redlinks and spamlinks should be prevented from returning. Gaijin42 (talk) 03:28, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this is the default assumption for how lists function. OSbornarfcontribs. 04:06, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Valid list and part of a bigger scheme of List of companies of Europe and Lists of companies by country. Linkspam should be addressed through editing and not through AfD.  Lugnuts  (talk) 07:39, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, looks like redlinks have been removed. Valid list in the "companies of " genre. --Funandtrvl (talk) 20:09, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lugnuts. So long as notable businesses are added.♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:09, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
