Members of the Tokyo Stock Exchange
Stock exchange members are a very dynamic list, as there are so many factors involved, so keeping this list current and accurate will forseeably be a logistical nightmare. Besides, the vast majoirty of the organizations listed here are redded out. This would be much more useful and practical as a category (Category:Members of the Tokyo Stock Exchange), than as a fixed list. Esprit15d 14:49, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I just put this up, so I might be a little biased. That said:


 * 1) Keeping this list current and accurate will take some editing, but the information is easy to check against the TSE's website; it's certainly no more difficult a task than keeping up the list of destinations served from an airport.
 * 2) Yes, most of the companies have not been written up yet. My main purpose for wikifying the list was to see which firms have articles and which don't. Because so many of the firms have no articles, this is not practical as a category yet (we would be left with a very incomplete list mostly consisting of major international investment banks). - Sekicho 15:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Convert to category as per nom and Delete. Currently contains no useful information not obtainable from TSE website.  Regards, Ben Aveling 17:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Do not convert to category. That would be much much worse as many global financial companies could end up in categories for dozens of stock exchanges creating hideous category clutter. Membership of particular stock exchanges just isn't a major characteristic for them. As for deleting the article or not, I don't mind either way. Honbicot 18:36, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * hard delete no categorization per Honbicot. JoshuaZ 21:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep of course. Fg2 10:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The article could use a brief sentence or two stating the significance of being a member – what members can do (presumably, all trades have to happen between member institutions?), and so on. Neier 12:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. No real case has been presented for its deletion, so the only thing I can do is vote keep for now. I think "dozens of stock exchanges" is an exaggeration, considering we're talking about the TSE here (the second/third largest in the world) and not "Franky Lou's Exchange Mobile". Contains no useful information not obtainable from the TSE website is an absolutely bogus argument: 90% of Wikipedias information is freely available on the internet, so we just delete all of it? freshgavin  ΓΛĿЌ  00:59, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
