Comment - This is a larger issue than just deleting these non-sourced lists of companies, one by one. I have doubts why we need lists of companies per town-per state. In the case of List of companies in Amarillo, Texas, it was very small and obviously outdated - at least one of the companies no longer existed - and no indication of bringing it up to date. However, these are all part of Wikipedia project Companies which lists statistics for 99,048 articles. — Maile (talk) 17:10, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Kent, Washington. Some of the information here is worth keeping, but I was not able to find a local news source that discusses the whole range of companies based in Kent rather than just focusing on one or two entries at a time. Sounder Bruce 07:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Kent, Washington – several of these companies are already listed there. A longer list might justify some organizational or navigational purpose outlined at WP:LISTPURP, but this list can easily be incorporated into the city's article, as most of the content is unnecessarily restating what the companies do (wikilinks can direct readers to that info).
