A reasonable criterion for companies would be the listing of its shares
on an important stock exchange.
That would be true if only companies that are traded on stock exchanges
are notable.
I said "a" reasonable criterion, not "the" reasonable
criterion. It
would be one of possibly several criteria that could serve independently
to justify an article.
That is a fallacy in its own right.
I see no logical fallacy in such a criterion.
When only one criterion is produced without any others, it is not self
evident how your proposed criterion would work. If you consider that I
misinterpreted what you said, than by giving your rationale, you
apparently do agree that it is a fallacy to consider the listing on a
stock to be the justification for an article. Some companies that failed
miserably are notable because of what they stood for.
