Major factories of Tabriz[edit]

Completely subjective list consisting of almost nothing but outside links. How do we define "major" factories? Are those major enough to have articles on WP? If not, should they be included on the list? All questions which undermine the validity of this list before you even notice that it reads as spam. Ironholds (talk) 15:09, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The original author has transferred a whole list that was removed from the Tabriz article as spam.--AssegaiAli (talk) 18:20, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
keepthe article lists major factories in one of the main Industrial centers of Iran. It is informative.--Babakexorramdin (talk) 11:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could you cite some kind of policy or decent rationale in that? "I like it" and "it is informative" aren't really accepted as valid keep rationales. Ironholds (talk) 23:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are other articles which list things. Aren't there those lists in wikipedia?--Babakexorramdin (talk) 08:24, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The fact that we allow lists generally doesn't mean every possible list is acceptable, especially when the list contains no content except external links, and when the content is only there because consensus said it couldn't be included somewhere else. Ironholds (talk) 08:59, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no clear criteria for the definition of major factory. If one is provided then I'd think the list would be worth keeping. as it stands almost all of the links are external, a list is usually made to link internal articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmzadeh (talk • contribs) 02:54, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
