Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional companies (2nd nomination)
This is clearly and unquestionably a #DIR|directory of loosely associated topics. It is a list seeking to capture every fictional company across every possible medium with absolutely no regard to the |triviality of the appearance of the company. There is absolutely no encyclopedic value in a conglomeration of every time some video game designer puts a fake company name on a billboard in the background of a video game. This is ''not'' a "list of companies that exist in one place - a fictional world" because this list does not restrict itself to a single fictional world or a single fictional universe. It is trying to capture ''every'' fictional world in ''every'' fictional universe. It tells us nothing about the companies on the list, nothing about the fiction from which they are drawn, nothing about any inter-relationship between the listed items (as there is none), nothing about the concept of fictional companies and nothing about the real world
