United Registrar of Systems

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I proposed this for speedy deletion, which was declined.

In my opinion, the company (URS) doesn't meet the requirements at WP:CORP for notability and its only claims are that it is global, is accredited, it has 2000 employees and it has notable clients (which the original submitter hasn't verified.) I confirmed the accreditation on the UKAS website — UKAS is an official British body — but accreditiation isn't sufficient to make it notable for an encyclopedia. I can't find references that would verify notability, though perhaps someone with better search skills can. Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 11:57, 4 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Follow up
 * Google Books sometimes doesn't show me relevant pages, but after a second try, I found this book written by a Commercial Manager of the subject, published by a reputable publisher.
 * ISO 9001:2000 Quality Registration Step-by-Step, 3rd edition, 2004, By Fred Dobb ISBN 1136009779
 * I am not sure if that confers notability or not. (The other references on the first page of Google Books search seem to be mere passing mentions.)
