Delete as nothing at all suggesting the necessary better improvements.

Comment – See
WP:NEXIST, and check out available literature using the Google Scholar and other links in the Find sources template atop this discussion, and also the literature I have listed below. North America1000 07:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)reply
Keep and
copy edit (some of which I have begun). The organization passes
WP:ORGDEPTH. Source examples include, but are not limited to those listed below. See also

Delete - I agree with NA that the organization may pass
WP:ORGDEPTH, but I would say delete as per
WP:DEL4. From its opening statement "centre for expertise", to its closing section: "Fascinating facts", it is simply a promotional brochure for the organization. I think this is a clear case of
WP:TNT. If someone wants to take it on as a project to develop, I would have no issue with it being draftified/userfied. But we really shouldn't be having promo brochures on Wikipedia.

Sure, the article still needs work, but this research institute and organization is quite notable and respected. For starters, per the article it is a partner with the
Ministry of Economic Affairs (

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Snow keep. This is a government mandated inspection agency (i.e. autonomous public authority) for the Netherlands with even a quick reading of their
about page and other sources.
[1]. It has no problem meeting notability standards. Similar agencies that do this work in the US for instance (and less confusing English) include the
Plant Variety Protection Office and
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Arguments for deletion including advertising, spam, etc. relevant to companies appears to be mistakenly applied above.
What I'm seeing in the article itself appears to be language typical of a non-English speaker that just sounds odd and promotional to native speakers. It only needs a rewrite to fix that problem in tone, which again isn't a notability problem warranting consideration here.
