List of taxi operators in Greater Toronto Area
Not encyclopedic. Transwiki to Yellowikis. -- RHaworth 06:33, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
 * Yellowikis is not a Wiki Foundation project but one of its objectives is to provide a wiki space for articles about commercial organisations that don't fit comfortably in Wikipedia. Please feel free to "dump" such articles into Yellowikis.--Payo 28 June 2005 11:36 (UTC)
 * Transwiki as indicated if possible, (since... is Yellowikis under Wikimedia's control?); else delete as non-notable/non-encyclopedic. That list probably changes a lot. --Idont Havaname 07:15, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Possibly YelloWikis ain't a Wikimedia project but that don't prevent you cutting and pasting it! -- RHaworth 08:10, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
 * Delete not encyclopedic, wikipedia is not a directory. JamesBurns 09:38, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I don't see anything wrong with this list. How are taxi companies any less encyclopedic a part of the transport system than subway stations? An anon seems to be doing a lot of good work in this area and the external links allow for easy verification. - SimonP 14:37, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. There's a lot of interesting history behind some cab companies and a list of them is a great first step toward future articles. This list is no less worthy than a list of city parks or schools. --NormanEinstein 15:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, the irony. RickK 04:13, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not yellowpages. --MarSch 15:46, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. We've already got articles on some of them and they're equally important as subway stations and airline companies. Mgm|(talk) 19:21, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, advertising, not encyclopedic.  RickK 04:13, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment. Note that there was a similar article deleted in the past.  See Votes for deletion/Taxi and Limo Operators in Toronto.  I believe much of the content was moved to this page on the Toronto Wiki.  -- JamesTeterenko 21:05, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. A list of non-notable entities is not notable. --Deathphoenix 14:44, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
