Subject is a non-notable directory/list. Article is far too specific to ever be notable or useful. Cryptic C62 · Talk 18:02, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Andhra Pradesh is an awfully big place, with a population of 76,210,007 or so, and many of the companies in the list are individually notable. At the same time, many of the companies listed operate throughout India, and there is enough overlap among the telecom company lists in Category:Lists of companies of India that they could be merged into a single List of telecom companies of India. If the majority of the companies listed did not operate throughout India, I would keep the state list. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:53, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, I didn't realize how many "List of <xxx in India> telecom companies" there were. There are five: Shimoga, Solapur, Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai, and Bangalore. All five of these articles mention Tata Indicom, Reliance infocomm, AirTel, Aircel, BSNL, Tata Docomo, and Idea Cellular. Clearly these are not local lists. If these junk heaps are deemed worth keeping, the five articles should be merged.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cryptic C62 (talk • contribs)
Delete. there are less than ten telecom (cellular and landline) companies in India and some combination of them exist in all states. No need for separate lists for each Telecom circle. The telephone number information can be transferred to Telephone numbers in India.--Sodabottle (talk) 17:17, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - Merge the five articles mentioned above (that's List of Shimoga Telecom Companies, List of Solapur telecom companies, List of Andhra Pradesh telecom companies, List of Mumbai telecom companies and List of Bangalore telecom companies) into List of telecom companies in India. From what I can see, it's basically the same few companies, with slight variations between states. The slight variations don't justify splitting into five articles, IMO, the one big article would also be easier to manage, Lord Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 11:46, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
