rewrite WP:CORP then.

They were valid deletions based on this - unexpectedly, being a listed
company is not sufficient for a WP article, they have to be used to
calculate an index (eg FTSE 250).

Any listed company is probably notable - certainly verifiable info
is available, as they have to file accounts.

I dont see why WP:CORP is written the way it is, I dont see why
stock market indexes are that important, as companies move in and
out of them all the time.
