message: Please remember when including information in an article that it must be based on Verifiable sources.  I just spent a great deal of time removing items from your list that do not have wiki articles or any outside references.  Keep in mind, many of the companies which I did not remove from the list may not be eligible for inclusion in wikipedia under wp:corp.  If anyone needs any help with learning how to include sources you may post a question on my talk page. Alan.ca 07:33, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citing Sources and Verifiablity 

message: I've just cleaned this list again - removing all red links. I'm sure some of the links I removed are links to potential articles on notable companies. However, many are likely attempts at self promotion or even practical jokes. I'm adding this page to my watchlist and will remove any new redlinks that appear. If Wikiproject: India or an enthusiastic editor would like to work on this list and add redlinks to articles waiting to be developed - just drop a note here on the talk page or on my talk page and I'll leave any new redlinks alone. Cheers, Paxse 14:53, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding redlinks to the list 

message: What is the point of this list? Kappa 05:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey Kappa, good question and one we've been discussing in detail over here Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Greek_companies - check that out for most of the major arguments. Apart from using the list for navigation it can also be a place for more information than just the company name (with annotations etc) or a list of articles to be developed. See WP:LIST for more info. Here, LeyteWolfer and I have been mostly removing link spam and trying to keep people from adding non-notable companies. Because neither of us are experts on Indian companies (I'm not anyway) we have also been removing red links - though perhaps we should rethink that strategy. Essentially I started out cleaning up this list after a previous AfD and watchlisted it until Wikiproject India decided to assess it, maintain it and start expanding. Hope that helps explain a little. Cheers, Paxse 14:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Point? 

message: Good patrolling, Kappa, especially in clearing that American company. I've yet to get into each of the links to ensure they actually are Indian companies and I'm sure this list hadn't had it done for some time. Good job. --LeyteWolfer 03:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Out of the 156 entries on this list when I started, 65 of them did not have citations in their articles. 2 of them were not Indian companies(A Swiss company and a Canadian company), and one was speedy deleted as spam. That means 43.5% of this article was either not sourced, or wrong.
When you see a list article that has no references, remember that wikilinks are not a substitute because Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Often Wikipedia articles are unsourced or just plain incorrect, and using Wikipedia itself to "verify" another article is only going to lead to errors, and defeats the whole purpose of getting external verification. See User:Until(1 == 2)/Wikilinks are not references for statistics on this and other articles regarding the accuracy of wikilinks as references.
What I plan to do next is go to Google and try to find sources for the uncited entries. Until(1 == 2) 18:45, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Searching for references 

message: Regarding the introduction to the article, and per Wikipedia:Avoid self-references, I do not think it is appropriate to be leaving messages to editors in the actual article. The introduction is a self reference. Perhaps this note could be put in html comments at the top of each section? Until(1 == 2) 20:08, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Self reference in introduction 

message: Currently there is a section for some letters that have no entries, but not for others. We should get rid of all empty sections or include them all.
My personal take is that the empty ones should be removed, and barring any objection I will do just that in the morning. If I do so before you can object, and do object, just revert and discuss as per WP:BRD. Remember, the discussing after the revert is the most important part. Until(1 == 2) 00:31, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As discussed elsewhere, I don't always have a connection, so can't be on for (near) real-time discussions; therefore, I want to head off any assumption that my absence is a lack of interest. However, in this case, I'd vote for keeping all, as we can include the abbreviated policy within each section. Spammers have less reason to claim they didn't know the policy, since it would appear in the edit box for the section they are spamming. Note: I'm not so adamant this is absolutely necessary, however. Spam will still get added (and deleted), in spite of the sectional policies. If we delete the extra sections, I don't think it takes anything away from the article. --LeyteWolfer 02:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

text: The empty sections were Q, Y, and X. I've turned "P" into "P, Q" and "Z" into "X, Y, Z". I think this is the best way. Kappa 03:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Empty letters in or out? 

message: This article is now in line with the WP:V policy in that there is now a source showing that each company is indeed a real company from India. Thanks to those who helped me find references.
Next, I will be going through and ensuring that the notability criteria as defined by WP:CORP is met. This seems to be the existing standard for this list based on the html comments before each section and is also in line with policy. Until(1 == 2) 18:36, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Change the title of this to List of Notable Indian Companies 

message: I'm under the conception that companies with a revenue above US$1b are eligible to be listed. If that's the case, there'd be too many entries that make the mark, some include Adani Group, DLF, Amul, HAL etc. which are just the tip of an iceberg.
I'd suggest only companies with a revenue of <US$5b be listed, or perhaps we can limit it to the top 50.

message: Can we remove 'UST Global' and 'Siemens', as these companies are not of Indian headquarters. These have only branch in India. Can we add noted companies which has no wikipedia article.
--Rajaram Sarangapani (talk) 05:45, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Removing UST Global and Siemens is a good idea - I see no indication that these companies are "co-headquartered" or any other arrangement that would place them in consideration as an "Indian" company.  I would not support any additions without an existing article; there are hundreds of thousands of companies in the region, and there is no need to turn this into a random directory listing.  If it is notable, make an article. Kuru (talk) 12:33, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: companies names

message: The opening list seems to have some quality control issues that have crept in over the last few months.  Does anyone have any objections to trimming this to the top 30 or so companies in India and the corresponding world rank during the clean up?  At the moment these seem out of sync, and there are some odd entries that do not make sense based on the revenues.  Kuru (talk) 17:30, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: With no other feedback in the last week, I've made the alterations to the lead list.  The list mixed the Fortune methodology for ranking with the Forbes methodology, and even had many companies that were just randomly placed (even without metrics).  I've used the eight companies from the Forbes Global 500 as a sourced and concise "introductory" list. Kuru (talk) 00:19, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: An editor continues to add a completely bizarre list to the lead section.  This list does not match the sources given, nor does it have any identifiable methodology for inclusion.  If it is attempting to recreate the forbes/fortune india 500, then it is going to create a copyright violation.  I've asked him to comment here. Kuru (talk) 13:13, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

message: In the times of calibrated contexts, I am still not able to understand what "Notable Companies" can and cant be. List them according to their worth, market capitalization or some other benchmark.
:In this context, it simply means having an established article, see WP:CORP. Worth is meaningless, market cap is not relevant for private companies.  Most of the objective measures change too frequently to keep up with, and would leave out small notable companies.  Open to other suggestions. Kuru (talk) 00:56, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
