Support essentially per
WP:SMALLCAT. The latter guideline has an exception rule but I do not think it applies here. We currently have an incomplete tree of internet companies with only 35 countries and it looks this number will only get smaller just by lack of relevant content (see e.g. Iranian nomination on top of this page). The SMALLCAT exception rule aims to prevent ripping out one country from an otherwise healthy tree, but this is not a healthy tree anyway.
Marcocapelle (

I am busy pruning this tree. I think "Internet companies" is too ambiguous to be the basis of a category. But I dont think I understand the terminology well enough to navigate through all the surrounding undergrowth.

WP1.0}}, so for clarity of purpose they should be renamed accordingly. If successful it would also require
this change to the template.
PC78 (

Question: are there Versions other than 1.0? As the answer is no, then Oppose as unnecessarily lengthening category names to no purpose. There is no confusion to clear up; and confusion may well be added by the specification "1.0" where there is no "1.5" or "2.0" to look for. (why the heck offline release is labeled "version 1.0" is another subject.)
KillerChihuahua 14:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)reply
I think you missed the point of the nom. These categories are populated by the {{
WP1.0}} banner and are therefore specific to the
WP:1.0 project. They are not the same categories used by
WP:VA hence they are ambiguous and their purpose should be made clear. There is nothing "unnecessary" about it.
PC78 (
