List of corporations by market capitalization on 30th March 2007[edit]

Contested prod. Way too specific a list. It is absolutely unclear why the market capitalization at one specific date would warrant an article (and why this date and not one of the countless others). The market capitalization corporations had on March 30th 2007 isnot a specific subject of study, so this list fails WP:NOTE. Fram (talk) 09:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Very specific criteria, but is just a rehash of a Financial Times article and so is probably a WP:COPYVIO. -- JediLofty ^User_Talk 09:44, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Wikipedia not an indiscriminate collection of facts. WillOakland (talk) 18:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
retitle and keep The arbitrary date was probably chosen because of the sources, but it was not a wise idea. a list of companies by market capitalisation is a highly appropriate topic for an article.

Indeed, but we already have List of corporations by market capitalization, so there is no need for a second one. Fram (talk) 09:06, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP does not have to include every bit of useful information. That is what the rest of the Internet is for. I am sure there are sites that keep track of this data. Northwestgnome (talk) 13:36, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Page was created as fork to List of corporations by_market capitalization#2007 first quarter to keep article in reasonable size and create more complete list (notice that all 200 listed companies has its own wikiarticles). If it will be deleted, content will be merged back to article. List is specific subject of study at least as FT 500.
