Not Notable. Some recent news stories announce a partnership with another firm, but that's about it. Yes, it has revenue of more than $1 billion, but that alone does not make a company Notable these days. Coverage in outside, independent sources, not based on press releases, would do it, but we don't have them. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 04:38, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is highly subjective these days. The fact that it does have revenue of >$1 billion alone makes it notable, regardless of BeenAroundAWhile's opinion. He is a deletionist, who regularly tags articles for deletion. ASV is a highly respected company doing business in many countries, not just the USA. It is notable as a builder of highly recognizable brands and products... i.e. Spartan ambulances; some of the biggest names in RVs today: Monaco, Holiday Rambler; various buses, etc..

I did a quick Google News search for this article's subject and found a fair number of independent news sources reporting on its activities. This confers notability. Rcsprinter¹²³ (interview) @ 16:25, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A Google News search seems to confirm GNG, and their revenues are very impressive. The sourcing in the article could be better considering what's out there, but that's no reflection on its notability. Boleyn (talk) 11:57, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep - There are enough sources for GNG like here and here Elgatodegato (talk) 03:46, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
