Seemingly obvious case of a non-notable and especially currently unacceptable article with my searches finding links at Books, News, browser and Highbeam but I'm still not sure if this can be improved and accepted. This simply has not changed since starting in March 2010 and I'm pinging the only seemingly still interested users and. SwisterTwister  talk  07:24, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. At 882 million euros, probably large enough to be notable. With a longstanding apparently unchallenged article in both theFrench and German Wikipedia, certainly notable.  Though our rules are different, I have  very rarely seen a European company in the Fr WP   that I would be comfortable deleting here, and I have never seen one  in the deWP, which in all relevant aspects has a stricter notability standard than we do.

 * Keep - I usually don't disagree with SwisterTwister, but my searches turned up quite a bit on this company. Granted, some of it is quite recent (subsequent to the nom - such as this), but there appear to be enough in-depth coverage to meet both WP:GNG and WP:NCORP, such as this, this, this and this. In addition, there are literally of hundreds of mentions, which while brief, paint a picture of a major player in the technology the company provides.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:25, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Can easily be sourced to WP:NCORP with a few of the 9670 news hits. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 13:43, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
