[edit] Criteria for listing

This list is about the top 200 Iranian companies.

I suggest we take sales figures as the main criteria like it has been for the recent selection here [1]. Also for sectors like IT which may not have any company represented in the top 100-200, I suggest we use other criterias like strategic importance for the Iranian economy (i.e. microprocessor production) AND undisputed NOTORIETY. Same holds true for other sectors which have no companies represented in the top 100-200 like Professional services or education and publishing.69.116.234.208 19:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

If you don't have a company in the top 100 in terms of sales in Iran AND more than 250 employees, then, please explain on this talk page WHY your company should be listed, including proof of NOTORIETY (link to press articles) and a link to your website, if any, BEFORE listing; so all Wikipedians can make an informed judgement. Otherwise it will most likely be deleted. Thank you for your understanding (see also: WP:CORP, WP:NOT, Wikipedia:External links, and Wikipedia:Spam). SSZ 09:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

If anybody has the updated 2007 list of the top 100 companies mentionned above, kindly provide the list itself on this discussion page (or the link to the website where it can be found). Thank you.SSZ 09:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Please note: you can still submit your link to the Open Directory Project for consideration. 69.116.234.208 00:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iranian Motorcycles

I'm not sure this is the place to ask, but I'd like to see articles about Iranian motorcycle manufacturers. Also, a list of Iranian motorcycle manufacturers could be added to List_of_motorcycle_manufacturers. Zzorse 02:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Establishment of clear policy

I'm seriously thinking of adopting List of Iranian companies in my patrols, and I think you guys have gone a long way in framing what is notable for this list. However, I think it critically needs a policy of meeting Wikipedia's notability requirements for articles. My patrolling generally revolves around ensuring that all listed companies have accompanying articles, the list is alphabetized and clear of extraneous comments and that the categories themselves are organized. In a day or two, I'd like to start with my cleanup, and then full-time patrolling. Here's the policy I'd like to add to the top. Please make suggestions on how it can be more clear, so that I may post it with your implied consent:

This is a list of major companies based in Iran. Please note that the list is highly incomplete and does not have thousands of companies of different sizes. Links should only point to the Wikipedia article, and not to a web page URL. If you want to add a link to a company, please ensure the Wikipedia article is written first. Company descriptions are not necessary, as the pertinent Wikipedia article will provide all needed information. Please see listing criteria on the discussion page before listing. This page lists only a few major Iranian companies operating inside and outside of Iran.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Hi LeyteWolfer,

You are welcome to patrol with me this page but please don't rush to delete a company just because it has no accompanying article. I have monitored this list for a year now and made sure they all meet the criteria for listing, as described above. I think may be 10 companies presently listed need to be removed at most. The list by itself is very valuable and meets Wikipedia's notability rules. I would ask you to list on this discussion page the companies that you think should not be listed, if any, so we can debate this subject further.

Regarding your paragraph above, I think it is good and helpful but I would delete the second sentence "Please note that the list is highly incomplete and does not have thousands of companies of different sizes" because I am not sure it is necessary.

I'm going to remove all entries that have neither a Wikipedia article nor independent references, per WP:NOT (not a directory) and WP:V (verifiability). Marasmusine 07:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• Is there any listing of an Iranian home appliances manufacturer? 67.174.240.91 08:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
