There are around 6,000 NYSE and NASDAQ listed US companies; is en-wikipedia WP:CORP as it stands still the right filter, or should it be somewhat loosened up? Would roughly 6k companies be inappropriate in 1.5 million total articles? Is mere listing on a major stock exchange enough notability?
Good question.
I wouldn't say we need every NASDAQ listing.
It is a bit odd for companies not to be able to qualify at all by capital value. Of course if there really were _no_ sources, for a secretive private corporation, the article could reduce to 'secretive private corporation'.
People who come to Wikipedia in a search for information on what equities to buy - what can one say? Cheapskates, and foolish investors, almost by definition.
