This list fails
WP:NLIST, with no indication as to why its members meet the criterion of being a real estate company of the Philippines. There is also no evidence that the list as a whole is covered in independent reliable sources rather than its individual members.

Delete per
WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Article is simply a directory listing with no added value or significance. VelellaVelella Talk 08:13, 13 April 2018 (UTC)reply
From NOTDIR: "Wikipedia encompasses many lists of links to articles within Wikipedia that are used for internal organization or to describe a notable subject. In that sense, Wikipedia functions as an index or directory of its own content." This is an indexing list of articles, and when it comes to notable companies there is no more basic way to index them than by industry and country. postdlf (talk) 14:34, 14 April 2018 (UTC)reply
The keyphrase there is "....to describe a notable subject." In this case there is not a shred of evidence that this list is a notable subject. The mere fact that each individual article has been deemed notable does not mean a list of such articles is notable. Notability is not inherited. VelellaVelella Talk 16:58, 14 April 2018 (UTC)reply
The key conjunction before that "keyphrase" is "or", and this list falls in the former part of that sentence, not the latter that you've partially re-quoted. This list is not itself a subject, it is just a format for organizing articles the same as a category. So it is nonsensical to talk about whether the list itself "is notable". Seriously, try reading the relevant guidelines I've cited above. They will help you understand all of this. postdlf (talk) 17:09, 14 April 2018 (UTC)reply
Really? Could you try to be a little more patronising ? What ever happened to "assuming good faith" ? And yes I did, and have, read the guidelines - I too have been around for many years. VelellaVelella Talk 18:10, 14 April 2018 (UTC)reply
I'm not seeing that demonstrated in your comments. postdlf (talk) 19:37, 14 April 2018 (UTC)reply
Nor I in yours. And please don't reformat my comments. VelellaVelella Talk 20:15, 14 April 2018 (UTC)reply
Delete, without the article stating the notability of the group it is a directory and not a list, I've just googled for this article and there is nothing to suggest real estate companies in the Philippines has been discussed as a group, all that returns are directory results etc.

Keep. We have many similar list articles. This is appropriate for both a category and a list--that there are sufficient notable entitites to include is sufficient, for a navigational device such as a list. DGG (

That's certainly reasonable. postdlf (talk) 15:25, 21 April 2018 (UTC)reply
