- List of fictional companies in video games (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Unsourced, trivial list of companies (when appeared only 1 time). This was originally a section in another article. RobJ1981 06:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[]
- Delete per nom; a bad list. Shalom Hello 11:55, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[]

- Keep (and maybe merge) per (and to) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional companies (2nd nomination). --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 14:10, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[]
- Delete - most of the entries on this list are from GTA; perhaps they should go to some list associated with that game, rather than a general fake video game companies list, virtually none of which meet the notability bar. Philip (Respond?) 14:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[]
- Eh, weak keep -- extremely limited subject, unlike the other lists of fictional companies by genre, I would not suggest merging this. older ≠ wiser 02:09, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[]
- Delete - Potentially infinite list. There are probably over 100 that could be added to this just from the GTA series alone, if you added every one from every video game ever made, I'm sure it would be well in to the hundreds of thousands. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, there is no reason for anyone to ever actually look this subject up. This just isn't an encyclopedic topic. Also, I see no reason that a list of fictional companies in video games would be any different from a list of fictional anything else in video games. Keeping this list could set precedent for keeping any number of lists of fictional things in video games, as there is nothing particularly defining about fictional companies (or anything defining about the fact that they appear in video games, for that matter). Why not fictional people? Why not fictional books? Why not fictional weapons? Keeping this list opens the door for those and anything else you can create a fictional list about, and frankly none of those are encylopedic or practical to create lists of.
