List of eCommerce companies in India

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Random list of eCommerce companies in India. The sources discuss market statistics, but give no indication that such a list is notable per WP:LISTN. The list does nothing that is not already accomplished by Category:E-commerce in India. - MrX 11:52, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete is listcruft / OR with unclear criterion for inclusion -- who decides which company is notable? K.e.coffman (talk) 03:04, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * In this context it means WP:N; which companies have or merit articles. That's a standard limiting criteria for lists. At best that term should be removed from the header as a WP:SELFREF, but it's not inappropriate or OR to use for inclusion guidance. postdlf (talk) 18:20, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. The problem isn't duplication of a category (see WP:NOTDUP), and I don't know what the nominator means by asking if the "list is notable", as the list is merely a presentation format for information, not the subject. I'd instead like to see discussion on whether "eCommerce company" is a meaningful grouping. Category:E-commerce in India is the closest thing to a complementary category, but is named like a topic rather than a group, and is also the only category in Category:E-commerce by country. There is no Category:E-commerce companies structure. postdlf (talk) 18:20, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Category:E-commerce in India contains several companies, so it's inclusion criteria is ambiguous. I think a common sense interpretation of WP:NOTDUP is necessary. A list with entries that have no additional context, and no inclusion criteria is no more helpful to our readers than a category. WP:LISTN says "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". This is such a broad, indiscriminate list that it serves little purpose. As far as I know, no one has thought it good idea to create a list of ecommerce companies for all the other countries on the planet. - MrX 19:32, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a article which doesnt make any sense, nobody can decide which company is notable and which is not. This page has no authentication or any thing which proves is to be right. Mufaddal —Preceding undated comment added 11:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
