List of power companies of Turkey[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unencyclopedic list, unlikely ever to be articles about the contents of the list, only sources are the websites of the companies themselves. jpgordon^{::==( o )} 16:44, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A random sampling of Category:Power companies by country found no other articles like this. Categories are a better way of dealing with these topics. --BDD (talk) 22:44, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Similar List of electric power companies in Greece, created by the same editor, is existing. Beagel (talk) 13:07, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Closer examination shows we've got List of Canadian electric utilities and List of United States electric companies. Most countries don't have a list as they have 2-4 companies, not a couple dozen. The list needs improvement, but I think the subject is valid. Grandmartin11 (talk) 15:20, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Self striking per other stuff does not exist. --BDD (talk) 19:16, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I don't accept that it is unlikely that would be articles about the companies on this list, as power companies tend to get coverage in reliable sources, and the fact that we don't yet have articles about most of them means that a list is better than a category, because it can contain red links that categories cannot. The content and sourcing of the article obviously need improvement, but that is a matter of editing, not deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:02, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep Already has some entries with articles, and as already noted others are likely to be notable, even if most sources will be non-English. Not an exciting article, and could merge to an article on electricity in Turkey (there's only Energy in Turkey which is more general), but no reason to delete. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:37, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Plenty of potential for expansion. Also, part of the nomination is guessing about the notability of various companies on the list. Red links are functional toward building the encyclopedia. See also WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC. Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:08, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - we need more Energy law articles, not fewer. This is a woefully inadequate corner of the Project, and I feel that it needs improvement for the sake of our readers. Bearian (talk) 19:14, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
