[edit] FTSE Small cap

"Companies listed on the LSE that do not fall under the bracket of FTSE 100 or FTSE250 feature on the "SmallCap" index" - followed by a plain list of hundreds of them. This sounds like useful information on a stock market, but it would have to be updated nearly hourly, and thus is very unencyclopedic. Radiant_>|< 14:18, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

• Author's remark It is clear to Marmot, at least, that the article is of value.
• Keep, I think yearly updates would be sufficient. Kappa 14:45, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Keep or Redirect to, hmmm, FTSE 100, if you then rename that to Financial Times Stock Exchange Index? This page would realistically only need to be updated quarterly, as the FTSE 100 and 250 only change quarterly, and there aren't that many companies that come to market to need an hourly updating. However, I think it's incomplete at the moment. Hiding 17:45, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Strong merge into Financial Times Stock Exchange. Not separately notable, not likely to searched except by the name or abbreviation of the exchange. List of hundreds of companies included in index is not encyclopedic. Go look at their website or something to find this info out, not Wikipedia. Barno 21:04, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Comment Financial Times Stock Exchange is a redirect to FTSE 100. Hiding 21:14, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  "I suggest the above vote be ignored, as it is intended as a personal attack against Marmot. Moreover, the specimen is yet to substantiate his unecessary opinion."
