List of external links, most of these companies do not have articles --Snigbrook ( talk ) 20:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - As it was, it was ugly and did not promote the creation of Articles. However, I have reformatted the 'list of' sections, to entice the creation of Articles of (quite possibly) notable companies. AFWIW, some of these companies do have articles, now we can tell which ones as they are not all masqurading as bluelinks. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  13:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep could easily help generate new articles. Darkspots (talk) 01:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. A breakdown of the bluelinks in the article as it stands now:  ADB is a disam page, Celco is a Chilean woodpulp company, Electronic Theatre Controls is grossly unreferenced, very spammy and probably wouldn't survive it's own AfD. Leprecon is a disamb page that says you've spelling Leprechaun wrong, among other things.  Martin Entertainment and it's redirect (both listed) Martin Light have been notability tagged for over a month.  Strand Lighting at least attempts to be an article, having a history section anyway. Freestyler redirects to Freestyle, a disamb page.  Everything else is a redlink. Not hardly a solid argument for the need for this particular list, which, besidees the wonderful navigation that it is providing to nowhere, is just a list of external links and will likely only attract spam, not good articles.
