Deletion of List of major home appliance manufacturers

Comment: per . This list is not encyclopaedic. Essentially, every single article about a "major appliance" manufacturer would end up here - along with the external links. A list needs to have some selection criteria. If a list of all such companies is required, simply use the category

Comment: the article as it ''stands'' as a  for non-notable manufacturers, and should be deleted. The notability of this list topic is marginal, and PROMO outweighs its usefulness to the encyclopedia

Comment: Please also refer to  and .  The list itself is not required to be notable, just the group as a whole.  The lede paragraph makes it clear what is intended to be included in the list or not.  Some amibugity in the English grammar in the title seems to be a problem for some to parse correctly.  The word ''major'' as it is used here is a modifier of ''appliance'', not ''manufacturers''.  Changing the title to leave out the word ''major'' would completely change the intentionally narrow focus of the list.  Including all home appliances would add any company that make anything from toasters to mixers to blenders, etc. and then it would have to be expanded to perhaps five to ten times as long and balloon completely out of control and be entirely unmanageable. This list was originally split out from the ''Brands'' section of the article ''Major appliance'' and is linked from there.  There has been some discussion in the past of changing the title to attempt to remove the ambiguity but there was never any follow up.  The only proposal that seemed to me to fit was ''List of manufacturers of major home appliances''.  I recommend immediately closing this Rfd and then starting a discussion on the article's talk page about the title if it causing people confusion

Comment: I do not see how  applies here.  If anything, that section seems to argue that this list is NOT promotional
