- Comment If you want to add some reliable sources, you can take a look for example here (Atlanta Business Chronicle, Ostthüringer Zeitung, Thüringische Landeszeitung etc.) --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 14:14, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I think that all these sources have an advertising sense and don't meet Wikipedia:RS. Also there are no sources which prove notability of this organisation.

- Keep I found sources independent of the subject and am adding them and rewriting and filling it out a little. The company is mentioned in several places as one of the worldwide leaders in compression hosiery, orthopedic inserts, and the like (including several Thuringian news articles and a mention as an example in Manager magazin, which is affiliated with Der Spiegel) and apparently its new HQ office building was one of the tallest in Thuringia when built. In my judgment it meets the standard for general notability. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:03, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I have now found and added as references a complete article on the company in Süddeutsche Zeitung (1, sadly paywalled) and a couple of substantive mentions in Die Welt (2, 3), plus an op-ed there by Hans B. Bauerfeind himself (4); there are also articles on him and the company in Frankenpost, which is a primarily local newspaper but not a Thuringian one. And the company owns a hotel that has made a splash. This meets the standard for national coverage; and I was able to add one non-PR mention in a US business publication.
