Outdated and more or less a straight copy/paste of the source list. Conifer (talk) 04:11, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Outdated is not in and of itself a reason for deletion. It's a reason for creating articles on 2012, '13, '14 and '15. It also isn't a straight copy-paste. pbp 04:20, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Depends on one source for the article. It's a clear WP:COPYVIO even if it's just paraphrasing the style of the AdAge chart. Nate • (chatter) 05:44, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's only a copyvio if their list used some kind of subjective or creative inclusion criteria. If all they were doing is, for example, reporting and comparing the numbers the companies themselves released in their 10-Ks, then this information is not copyrightable even if they were the first (or only ones) to do the work in assembling it. postdlf (talk) 20:44, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as simply not convincing enough for this of a separate notable article. SwisterTwister talk 07:55, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Per points above. GauchoDude (talk) 13:15, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
