The color scheme is undefined, some company names have changed, and the employee count and economic data is 17 years out of date. 73.244.173.204 07:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree with you. Stehfun (talk) 07:47, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please elaborate on why it should be deleted, rather than updated? I'd be happy to update it if sources can be found. Otherwise just take the sources from the articles where it is used, add a date to the image, change the colours, and it's perfectly valid historical information. --BurritoBazooka (talk) 02:06, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose it can be viewed as a snapshot of what was considered Big Oil in 2005, but then the Revenue, Net Income, and Employee Count should remain the same, and every article, or the image itself, should present that the numbers and company names are from 2005.
But still, what do the colors mean, and why is there a line for Exxon come out of the top of Exxon Mobil, while all of the others branch out in groups?
All that aside, there probably should be an updated version that reflects what is considered Big Oil of today. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 73.244.173.204 (talk) 04:52, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep outdated data is no reason to delete a file. I've added {{Unclear description}} and Category:2005 illustrations. GeorgHHtalk   19:22, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep agree that older data is also valuable for historical reasons. --Mozillaman (talk) 04:30, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: Per COM:NPOV, "A file that is in good faith use on another Wikimedia project is, by that very fact, considered useful for an educational purpose and is not liable to deletion on the grounds that it is 'wrong' in some way." As this file is in use on multiple projects, COM:INUSE precludes its deletion for the reason represented. The path to deletion is thus: 1) approach the projects currently using this image and persuade them to discontinue that use and 2) open a DR with a new rationale that the file is not used and that its having been universally removed is evidence of being so flawed as not to be useful for an educational purpose. --Эlcobbola talk 15:04, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
