Inclusion criterion

[edit]

Anyone considering adding a manufacturer to this list should keep in mind the following from the Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists) guideline:

"Ideally each entry on the list should have a Wikipedia article but this is not required if it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the future."

To test the reasonableness of your expectations, you may want to create the article on the manufacturer first and then add it to this list. UnitedStatesian 18:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merging French bicycle industry and/or List of French bicycle manufacturers into List of bicycle manufacturing companies

[edit]

I think the suggestion to merge the article and/or the list ignores the unique history and character of the French industry. The bicycle was invented by the French, as was bicycle racing, and the French bicycle industry grew up around those twin facts. To merge the French industry into a larger list would be to lose sight of the French contribution to cycling. I think the article and the lists in the article should remain as they are.
