Absurd

This list is absurd. It is open to abuse through cheap publicity - not to mention, thousands of them. Might as well as make list of human (which could go up to more than 6 billion. __earth ^(Talk) 05:03, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The idea is that only notable companies are listed... as an approximation, we can remove everything which doesn't have an article. Kappa 01:06, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly - I have changed the lead and removed all the redlinkers. – ukexpat (talk) 18:42, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How is this any different from Category:Companies of Malaysia? No need for a list article that serves the same purpose as a category. This is a candidate for deletion. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:49, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comes up fairly often, usually for just that reason. These types of lists seem to get kept, and then turn into directories of external spam links. They don't really bother me if someone is at least keeping track of them and there is some tangible set of inclusion criteria. Kuru (talk) 02:12, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Except in this case the only criterion for inclusion is the same as that of a category. ~Amatulić (talk) 06:01, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
