Category vs. List

Why does this article need to exist if there's already a category of Dallas/Ft. Worth-based companies? (It's not really an external link; I just don't know how to link to a category.) Also, Why does this contain More companies than those that are listed on the DFW page? Should they not all be on the same page. Though, I do think it is necessary to include a differentiation between those listed on the fortune 500 and those that are not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.128.188.179 (talk • contribs)

Lists are often there to organize things that ca't be organized clearly (and specifically) in categories. For instance, it's better to have one big category and a list that breaks things down for the category than tons of categories and no lists. Also it allows for images and whatnot. drumguy8800 C T 07:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greenville, TX

By most accounts Greenville, Texas is in the DFW metroplex. If so then L-3 Communications, a Fortune 500 company at #253, has a plant located in Greenville, Texas and could be added to the list. However, I will let the list designer figure out if Greenville should or should not be allowed.
