 * I've searched the web and can't see any evidence of this organization's existence apart from its adverticle on Wikipedia and its own hundreds of websites. I vote delete. Buster79 (talk) 18:37, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep "can't see any evidence of this organization's existenc" Sorry, but that is ridiculous. A simple web search, or something like Google News supplies hundreds of hits. TÜV SÜD is a multi-national company with over 24,000 employees and 2 billion Euro in revenue. Here are just two articles from major German newspapers about TÜV SÜD (and the other TÜV companies): http://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/unternehmen/pruefgesellschaften-tuev-sued-und-tuev-nord-bleiben-eigenstaendig-1463491.html, http://www.zeit.de/2012/19/TUEV-Globalisierung . The article can certainly use some more references, but I see no reason to delete it. Sebastian (talk) 08:47, 5 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks. No need to be sorry. If you don't mind me asking, what makes you so sure the organization has "over 24,000 employees and 2 billion Euro in revenue"? Buster79 (talk) 17:50, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - WP:GNG - I have added some references. International 2.2 billion revenue company. Sufficient coverage in secundary sources. 40.000 newsitems on Google . -- Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 21:07, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep the 21 references in wikipedia.de should be a good basis to make this article verifiable. MLA (talk) 04:47, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
