List of Swiss companies

Listcruft again: hugely incomplete, a spam target and hugely redundant to Category:Companies of Switzerland (which is significantly more complete). Should be deleted, as no advantage over the corresponding category is apparent. Sandstein 19:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Standard company list. Let's rename to List of Swiss companies, so those who want to ignore lists can skip it based on its name. -- User:Docu
- Comment Sorry, the name of this article is already List of Swiss companies. What do you want it to be renamed to, and why? Sandstein 21:20, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The list contains a large number of companies significant in Switzerland, but which don't have articles (red links), and thus don't appear in Category:Companies of Switzerland; I'd say it is worth keeping. Schutz 21:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. See Lists of companies (by countries). We should either delete all of them or none. If this list is incomplete then our aim should be to complete it not to delete it. Its "advantage over the corresponding category" is summed up by Schutz --Zoz (t) 21:44, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as useful list. Capitalistroadster 21:55, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment; It is not useful as there is already a more complete category that accomplishes the same thing. — ßott e siηi ^(talk) 23:36, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant keep — Page really should include more useful information than just a list of names. — RJH

Keep but edit article. Just as RJH said above, this article should stay, but we should add more information about the companies ie. CityNightLine is a Swiss Night Train Company, servicing Germany, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland and the Netherlands or: Migros, one of Switzerland's major department, shopping, and gardening stores. And so on. We should also remove all those redlinks.

We could also add small company logos nect to each name. The article should stay, and become a more comprehensive list of Swiss Companies.

Delete. Categorization is a better, more maintainable tool than a list for dealing with this. Zaxem 01:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
