[edit] Please no external links

We need to keep this list free from external links, and focused on the most notable companies, or else it is liable to go up for deletion as happened with the PV list: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of photovoltaics companies Johnfos (talk) 10:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

You deleted the links again. The current list makes no sense, because some big players are missing. Not all companies make so much noise as Ausra. Luz II is the most notable company, because they have filed for the largest plant by the Californian Energy Commission. Furthermore, most of the people of that company where involved in the build of the SEGS plants.
So, if the lists stays like this, it is just an advertisement of your favorite Ausra. And I have to delete the entire list.Lkruijsw (talk) 20:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Without the other companies, the list makes no sense, because major players are missing (such as Luz II). If it becomes too many, than it is logical to remove entire list. Currently it is informative, for someone that wants that needs information.Lkruijsw (talk) 20:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

WP is not a collection of links, see WP:NOTLINK. Notable companies should have their own WP article, and then could be blue linked in this list. So please start an article on Luz II etc, and then we can include them here. Johnfos (talk) 00:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Johnfos has asked for a 3rd opinion on this. Johnfos correctly points out that Wikipedia is not a collection of links, therefore we should not have a list of external links here. What I suggest is to redlink the entries that are currently external links, i.e. Lloyd Energy Storage, so that articles can be created on those companies, should they be notable per WP:CORP.
