Not a notable topic, doesn't meet WP:LISTN or WP:GNG. Has been in CAT:NN for over 3 years. Boleyn (talk) 18:18, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Aids in navigation, plenty of blue links there, so its a valid list article. Dream Focus 19:46, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. There's a lot of original research in there. The list needs to be cleaned up so it only contains links, no ranking of any sort. Ajf773 (talk) 20:07, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Lot of research here, and probably needs updating. Whiteguru (talk) 12:16, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes LISTN provides information and navigation for the users. Wm335td (talk) 19:26, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:GNG and WP:LISTN. Azuredivay (talk) 05:51, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, Article fails by its own premise and horribly misguides readers. A "conglomerate" is, apologies for appearing to insult all of you, is a group or collection of companies or firms. Almost all the entries are just companies, and, so, don't belong here. "Conglomerates" - which take a lifetime to build - in Maharashtra can be counted on two hands (Reliance, Larsen and Toubro, Tata etc.). For example: If it's listing Tata Group, which is a conglomerate, why is it also listing other Tata companies? Defeats the point of the article. All the rest are subsidiaries or standalone companies. Not well-researched at all and, most importantly, gives a false idea of the situation. If you cut everything out, only a handful will be left, which does not deserve an article. And if it is renamed "List of companies in Maharasthra", then what's the point as we already have Category:Companies based in Maharashtra. This list is plain wrong, unsourced, unwarranted, un-factual and un-needed. Best, MaysinFourty (talk) 07:59, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: Non-notable and seriously out-of-date. The figures aren't ~~dated~~ marked with dates, but they haven't been updated in over 9 years! The citations are over 10 years old (2010-11-15), older even than the figures; the figures were updated at some point long after the citations were put in place. There are only about a dozen citations for a list of several dozen companies. Sadly useless, this WP:LISTCRUFT needs to be deleted. Normal Op (talk) 19:18, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
