List of public relations firms

WP is not an indiscriminate set of lists, and there is a perfectly good category available. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 03:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as I stated in the talk page, the list is a valid list per WP:LISTS for development purposes. Firms listed do not seem indiscriminate, they do appear to be notable from what little Googling I've done. hateless 07:02, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - at least one article links here. What the passionate anti-listers oft times forget is that lists are useful as part of the wiki web. List has a clear, well defined purpose. WilyD 12:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. What's the point of a list when a perfectly good category exists? Imparts no new useful information apart from introducing a few more red-linked names. Ohconfucius 12:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete has no room for expansion to supercede the capabilities of a category, and it has the potential to get dirtied with dozens of small-time, non-notable firms. AdamBiswanger1 13:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per AdamBiswanger1. Sorry, but I can't see the list has a clear, well-defined purpose apart from poorly duplicating the work of a category (see the entry for Edelman). It's highly US-centric too, so cleanup is necessary if it's kept. The one other page that links to it is Public Relations via a "see also" link, so it isn't going to cause major disruption if it is deleted. Yomangani 14:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Some lists have value on wikipedia. This is not one of those lists. -- stubblyh ea d | ^T/_c 15:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It has useful redlinks. Once those are stubbed out, deletion is fine. Deco 22:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Redlinks, if not exist anywhere else in wikipedia independently, mean nothing. Mukadderat 19:10, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
