 * Strong Keep and improve - The topic has received a great deal of ongoing press coverage, and as such appears to pass WP:GNG and WP:COMPANY. The article would benefit from improvement. Arseus has also acquired many companies. Per the Reuters profile for the company (link here):

Arseus NV is a Belgium-based company that provides products and services for professionals and institutions active in the healthcare sector in Europe, South America and the United States. Its activities are subdivided into four divisions: Fagron is a supplier of pharmaceutical preparations for pharmacists according to pharmacists’ specifications. The division also sells pharmaceutical compounds to hospitals and specialized industries, semi finished products and cosmetics products under the Fagron brand. Arseus Dental provides specialist dentists’ supplies such as dental x-rays, intra-oral sensors and cameras to dentists and dental experts. Arseus Medical supplies hygienic, diagnostical and care supplies to doctors, nursing homes and hospitals.

 * Comment - I've begun making some improvements to the article. It's a company that has over 2,000 employees and distributes its products and services on three continents. It's notability is inherent in the press coverage it has received, along with the size and range of the company. Northamerica1000(talk) 04:38, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per improvements and sources made/found by Northamerica1000. Ryan Vesey  Review me!  06:47, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete We can't just have articles here on Wikipedia based on the sources. And when people nominate them for deletion before researching if there are sources we should just hack it off like a gangrened leg. Why improve when we can slice and dice right?LuciferWildCat (talk) 17:35, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Is your comment meant to be sarcastic? Ryan Vesey  Review me!  17:38, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Note - The above !vote appears to be sarcasm, and it doesn't discuss the topic's notability. Northamerica1000(talk) 16:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per recent improvements. Company has received significant coverage in WP:RS and thus satisifies WP:CORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. As a side note, would like to see the additional references utilized as inline citations at some point in the future if possible. None but shining hours (talk) 15:13, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
