Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of companies in the United Arab Emirates
Previously, I would have said delete, but now nothing but a strong keep, as lists such as these are very important for red-link development, particularly outside of the so-called first world they are important for fighting |systematic bias. How can we use being listed on a stock exchange as a factor in inclusion, when most of the countries listed :Category:Lists of companies by country|right here do not have stock exchanges. If one sees entries which are obviously 'spam'-type entries, then delete the entries, not the entire article. Also, might I add, that there is nary an article in that category which hasn't been put up at Afd, and which hasn't survived for the very same reasons I state above. I would suggest that the nominator either withdraw the nomination, or add the :Category:Lists of companies by country|entire category to the Afd
