This list is an outlier. There is no other article titled "List of investments by..." Most companies make a fantastical number of investments, since that it is the very nature of business. We oughtn't be in the business of tracking that business. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 23:28, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as an abandoned draft. The attention paid to Microsoft's investment in OpenAI suggests this could be a topic of interest. But the current article is too incomplete to keep. Walt Yoder (talk) 20:51, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Major investments can be added to the main article, but not every single one. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:14, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per above. Beside violating WP:LIST, it's a WP:FORK of another list. Bearian (talk) 15:45, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
