Pilz (company)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication of notability, no third-party sources. What looks like a third-party source, "The Best of German Engineering", is acually written by the lobby organization VDMA, the German Engineering Federation, of which Pilz is a member. I looked for third-party coverage and came up with no more than a few passing mentions, though lots of false positives make a thorough search difficult. Huon (talk) 14:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

I've found several third party sources concerning the company Pilz GmbH & Co. KG. It's a little bit difficlut so search because "Pilz" means also fungus in German. So I've found the following: Google News: https://www.google.com/search?q=Pilz+GmbH%22&tbm=bks#q=%22Pilz+GmbH%22&tbm=nws Google Books: https://www.google.com/search?q=Pilz+GmbH"&tbm=bks#q=%22Pilz+GmbH%22&start=20&tbm=bks Could you please have a look on those sources. I'll add them afterwards. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Safety-Hero (talk • contribs) 11:50, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Weak keep. I appreciate the nominator's concerns, and this is a hard one to search, especially for English-language results.  HighBeam has more than 150 hits for   and while these seem to be largely routine coverage, the volume and worldwide scope of the mentions seem to me to indicate a notable company.  I note that some promotional text in the article has recently been addressed by editing. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:20, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Well established company that is noteworthy. Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:14, 25 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - I think there is enough to substantiate the notability of the company itself but not each of the company's products. Stalwart 111  06:28, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
