Companies in Atlas Shrugged[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The novel is notable, but the fictional companies in it are not. Even in-depth sources about the book have little or nothing to say about most of them. Any relevant details would belong in the plot summary or discussion of themes in the Atlas Shrugged article, not a separate list. RL0919 (talk) 16:14, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete total fancruft layered on top of boxen of advocacy. We need to be taught carefully that things don't inherit notability from other things. Bearian (talk) 13:00, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

N.B. - it was deleted ten years ago, so technically this could be speedily deleted. It's still not notable. Bearian (talk) 13:02, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete just because there companies exist in Atlas shrugged does not mean that they are notable. Notability is not inherited. The sources don't merit inclusion at this time. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:19, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
