[edit] Engro
non notable Pakistani corporation; about $350 million in sales, they make fertilizer and sell or resell various agriculture-related products. I don't see any real claim of notability. Brianyoumans 02:54, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, about $350 million in sales. Also per WP:CORP. Kappa 02:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment The only part of WP:CORP that the company might meet would be the 2nd provision, "The company or corporation is listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications." The company is listed by Forbes Asia as one of "200 Promising Firms Under $1 Billion" or something like that, but I would argue that that isn't a list of important firms, but instead of promising ones. And I suspect they have a new list of firms every year; making it one year isn't that notable. Other than that, I can't see much notability. $350 million in sales isn't that big, even for Asia. --Brianyoumans 03:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- How did you exclude #1 and #3? Kappa 03:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the article doesn't include two press accounts, and I haven't seen any cited here, with the possible exception of the "The News" link below (although that is brief and may well be based on a press release.) I assumed that it didn't meet #3, since nothing of the sort was cited in the article, but to my chagrin it appears that it is in fact part of the Karachi Stock Exchange 100, and in fact in the top 25% or so by capitalization; given that, I think I will have to withdraw this nomination. I wish that had been in the article to begin with, as it took a bit of digging to find out. --Brianyoumans 04:52, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

- Keep. Listed in Pakistan's stock market, relatively easy to source.[1][2] [3]--Wafulz 03:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as it is listed in Forbes Asia - but nt becuase it's on the stock exchange/market- that shouldn't be a measure of notariety, as may non-notable companies are publicly traded. SkierRMH,10:10, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
