Is it really necessary? Original research, no reliable references... みんな空の下 (トーク) 00:34, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete for having way too broad a criterion. Evil corporations are cliche villains everywhere. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:34, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete or merge with evil corporation. While I disagree that the subject isn't notable (after all, this is just an extension of evil corporation), I would have to say that this is a rather arbitrary and unnecessary list that probably falls under the category of fancruft. Merging is a possible option, but we'd need to cut out at least 90% of this article, as it is completely and utterly unreferenced; just a few examples on the main article would do. We are not TV Tropes, and so we can dispense with this. —  Richard  BB  15:52, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Evil is a matter of opinion for some of the entries. Whilst SPECTRE is undeniably evil (blow nuclear bomb if they are not paid), entries like Rekall trying to sell you good memories, and InGen creating a theme park are questionable.Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 17:15, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete or Merge as above - We have a list of everything, now a list of evil corporations, in the near future I could see a list of fictional good corporations coming into light. Eduemoni↑talk↓  20:59, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ♫Doofenshmirtz Delete Incorporated♫ - This is simply unencyclopedic, and an unnecessary list of information. Referenced info could be merged to evil corporation, but I can't see this being a plausible redirect. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:51, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep 19 have blue links. Not sure if all of the others are notable enough series to be on the list, but you have 19 that certainly are.  Much more useful than a category, since you can easily see what series each one is from.   D r e a m Focus  15:41, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * comment I don't think having however many blue links is a relevant point. Just because the individual subjects are notable on their own, it doesn't mean this article is. —  Richard  BB  19:01, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree that there isn't a valid rationale posited in Dream Focus' vote. p  b  p  20:07, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The list article comprises related things, and aids in navigation. Some of these things are notable, having their own articles.  I don't recall any list ever being kept that had no blue links in it at all.   D r e a m Focus  21:11, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That's probably the case, but I can think of a lotta lists that did have blue links but were still deleted. This should be one of them  p  b  p  21:27, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of fictional corporations: What's evil and what isn't is subjective, much the same as the honest politicians discussion we recently had. If there are notable fictional corporations, there should be a list for those that both are and aren't evil  p  b  p  20:06, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That's not a merge, since nothing there to merge to. Its a rename.   D r e a m Focus  21:11, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * But I don't want the exact same article as this one at that title I propose. I want an article that has all notable fake corporations, not just the evil ones.  Therefore, you wouldn't just be renaming, you'd be significantly altering the content  p  b  p  21:27, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge - to Evil corporation per above. ö   Brambleberry   of   RiverClan  16:32, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete the list is exhaustive and comprised of original research, so it isn't appropriate in its own article or within the main Evil corporation article. Ideally the evil corporation article should be expanded with prose that will mention a few examples in passing (such as the iconic SPECTRE), but listing out fictional evil corporations just for the sake of it isn't necessary and invites fancruft and original research.

 * Delete This list's scope is not clearly definable (as mentioned by Martin451), and thus it should be removed. L Faraone  01:32, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
