Sure, while you're making that blanket statement without considering each case individually, try nominating [[Wal-Mart]] to AfD and see what happens. (No, don't.) Businesses are, generally speaking, excellent subjects for articles because of the multiple sources of verifiable NPOV information about them. I'd find a better example of one that started out even smaller, as a meager little stub, but the server isn't responding right now.
[[Wal-Mart]] has references, so it's not original research, and in this case the article does more than say "Wal-Mart sells anything you want, in over 20 billion stores nationwide".
