Lists of technology companies in Canadian cities

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per closure at Articles for deletion/List of technology companies in Quebec City. Lists of companies in a particular industry might be valid at the country or province level, but it's not particularly helpful or useful in an encyclopedia to winnow that down to separate lists for individual cities — and indeed, lists of "technology companies in particular city" don't appear to exist for any other city on the entire planet, and so far I've found little evidence of comparable "companies in particular city" lists existing for any other particular industry either. The Ottawa list, it's worth noting, has been turned into something approaching a comprehensive directory of companies without regard to whether they have a Wikipedia article to link to or not (and, of course, some were offlinking to the company's own website in violation of WP:ELNO) — and none of the lists cite any proper referencing, either.

 * Delete, for the same reasons I raised at the Quebec City AFD. I had hoped these would all be deleted at the same time, but I suppose since they weren't actually bundled, we have to go through the extra step of bureaucracy here. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 13:52, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per my comments at the previous AFD, which apply equally to these lists. postdlf (talk) 15:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
