Delete - does not appear to pass notability guidelines as it does not appear to be the subject of multiple reliable sources. Seems to be a vanity thing for companies so most of the Ghits are press releases; other sources mention it in passing. The lists themselves may need to be removed regardless as copyvios.

- Weak keep Is a "publication" of Fortune magazine, possibly notable. ukexpat (talk) 19:52, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- In the absence of reliable sources that this particular list/publication is independently notable, the notability of Fortune doesn't pass to this article. There is a section on the lists that Fortune publishes at Fortune (magazine) so perhaps an expanded mention of this list there would be appropriate. Not sure under GFDL if that means that this article would need to be redirected to preserve the history or not. I would tend to think not since we wouldn't really be merging anything for this article to the magazine article. Otto4711 (talk) 01:51, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete is a Fortune publication, yes, but at the same time it's mostly cited for vanity and not talked about (unlike the 500) Sceptre (talk) 14:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
