List of information technology companies by market capitalization

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Lightly sourced, unhelpful list. Very few companies included, and sources (when provided) are to a few articles from 2006 and 2007. If there's any value in the topic, deleting and starting fresh would be quicker and easier. Jayjg (talk) 22:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - unmaintainable info dump, unencyclopedic, and to what purpose this stands, I have no idea. Market capitalization is a formula with two parameters: outstanding shares and share price.  Outstanding shares can change at any time, and the share price do change all the time.  Multiplying them together only compounds minor changes.  In short, the article wants to solidly quantify something that isn't solidly quantifiable over time.  There are programs that do this automatically as part of research tools for investors, and this is not Investopedia. MSJapan (talk) 01:29, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete not an encyclopedia article as the information is constantly changing. Better suited to an investment site. Dzlife (talk) 15:10, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete unless a dedicated editor wants to make changes every day to this page sourced in 2008. Article is badly put of date and wildly inaccurate, based on easily yahoo'd sources. BusterD (talk) 02:22, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
