This page (should, I'm going to clean up in one moment) contain only companies that have their own wikipedia page; that is--it's not for every company based in Michigan, just those notable enough to have their own wikipedia page. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:42, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria for inclusion should be notability, not existence of an article. Existence of an article establishes notability, but the lack of an article does not necessarily refute notability. Notability can also be verified with references to suitable sources. That is, a company is notable if an article could be written in the future. Spinning Spark 18:31, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add my Michigan based company to the list. Weathergard Windows . We build and make our windows in our factory in Oak Park Michigan

In order to be added to the list there would need to be an existing article on Wikipedia for it. --Jnorton7558 (talk) 22:01, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. Ryan Vesey Review me! 20:51, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please also note that companies added this list should have their own, separate Wikipedia article that is linked to here. With that in mind, companies have to satisfy the notability criteria at WP:CORP to be considered for inclusion in Wikipedia in any capacity. elektrik SHOOS (talk) 01:57, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please change the link from [[AT&T]] to [[AT&T Inc.|AT&T]] for simplifying disambiguation, per Talk:AT&T#Incoming links to AT&T. 12.153.112.21 (talk) 18:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: AT&T Inc redirects to AT&T, so there is no reason to change the link. The talk page you link to says much the same thing. Please stop making these requests until you get consenus on this change. RudolfRed (talk) 19:39, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
