Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of companies of the Bahamas
but prune non-notable entries (many of those in the "Other" section look like candidates for removal).  The list is a service to our readers by giving them an overview of notable Bahamian businesses, about which we have or should have articles, with links to articles we have.  I agree with DGG that the list serves our readers in ways that a category couldn't.  It also serves the editors by identifying articles that should be written.  In response to the invocation of , that ''essay'' (not policy or guideline) paints with too broad a brush.  I agree with the essay to some extent.  That there's one article of a particular type doesn't mean there should be another; perhaps the first is exceptional or perhaps the first should also go.  But when there's a multitude of articles of that type, it goes beyond "other crap exists" and reflects the community's judgment that such articles are appropriate
