List of dance companies in Canada

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not the yellowpages. The only sentence in the article correctly notes "There are many dance companies in Canada" and most are not worth an article.

Note the template at the bottom which has all red links for List of dance companies in North America. It looks like it goes away automatically if we delete this List of article. Legacypac (talk) 04:06, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, non-notable dance companies don't have to be included. Siuenti (talk) 07:55, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge That template at the bottom is the problem, I agree, not this Neelix-created list, which is a non-indiscriminate list of what should be notable Canadian dance companies. As for the argument "most are not worth an article" all but two have articles. On the other hand, we do have List of dance companies which is sortable by country, which has many of the companies listed there too. Most of them I think. I'd have no objection if someone wanted to merge this list into that. I'm going to try removing that template at the bottom, though. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 11:13, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: this list is (or as Shawn says, "should be") of dance companies notable in a Canadian context. It can thus contain provincial companies which do not qualify for inclusion in List of Dance Companies. There will be some overlap with that list of course but as coverage of dance in Canada improves this list can grow with more, distinct, entries. --Mirokado (talk) 13:35, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:NOT is not about removing lists of notable people, companies, or topics. This list clearly meets WP:LISTCOMPANY and our notability guidelines as it's not an indiscriminate list. Mkdw talk 17:44, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
