 * Keep: Looking at the BEFORE news results at least, I don't think it's fair to say that this is a "small lobbying organization." They seem to be a fairly significant trade group for this industry.  Reasonable minds can differ about the sufficiency of the coverage but, at least to me, I think the relevant notability guidelines are met. DocFreeman24 (talk) 19:13, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep The WSJ has in-depth coverage of the organization in 2020 that begins with the CEO but also includes board members: The Advice That Gave a Biotech Exec a Shot in the Arm. Beccaynr (talk) 18:09, 9 October 2021 (UTC) Also: Biotech Industry Pushes Trump Administration to Release New Vaccine Guidelines (NYT, 2020, "BIO’s members include many of the major pharmaceutical companies, including all of the coronavirus vaccine makers except AstraZeneca."), ABC11, 2020, describes BIO as "the largest trade group representing pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions". Beccaynr (talk) 21:57, 9 October 2021 (UTC) "In early 2020 BIO debuted the Coronavirus Collaboration Initiative" (Forbes, 2021), Change is messy’: Inside the tumultuous efforts to stabilize BIO, the biotech lobby (STAT, 2021), Exclusive: Top drug lobbyist to depart next year (Politico, 2019), Paul Hastings' journey from patient to one of biotech's leading voices (SF Business Times, 2021) - I am updating my comment to a keep !vote, because there are multiple WP:SIRS, with WP:CORPDEPTH that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization, and per WP:AUD, there is significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media that is independent.

 * Withdrawing the AfD Looking further, it seems has it right. I've perhaps been  influenced by working too much on clearly promotional  corporate articles.  DGG ( talk ) 04:46, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
