 * Keep. Google returns for [ "B Braun" -www.bbraun* ] 115000 hits. --Ben Ben (talk) 15:52, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: More specifically, the article does not establish why the company is notable. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 16:18, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: For developed the first plastic container for I. V. solutions? The article is borderline to promotion, yes. At least, 41666 people in 50 countries know the company.--Ben Ben (talk) 17:18, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - See WP:GOOGLEHITS. The fact that 115000 hits return on Google does not indicate notability at all. Notability depends on the existence of reliable sources, not some 114950 pages scattered on the internet that mention "B Braun". Michaelzeng7 (talk) 15:24, 21 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep I assumed that a company like this - nearly 200 years old, with branches all over the world - would be notable. At first I could not find significant coverage in English about the company - mostly just press releases. But I think there may be significant coverage in the German press, for example this in the Frankfurter Rundschau, naming the company the best employer in Germany. I'll add it to the article. Other examples . The article could use some help from a German speaker. --MelanieN (talk) 17:21, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S. The company does have an article in the German Wikipedia. --MelanieN (talk) 17:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep, highly notable. Braun products are ubiquitous in German healthcare (for example, the first word I learned for peripheral venous catheter was "Braunüle"), and while the article could certainly be improved, there is no reason for deletion. —Kusma (t·c) 18:25, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
