Lacks sources. Does not have consistent non-industry specific media exposure except about the bankruptcy. There are some sources in Google news that seem to be construction related that I'm not familiar with, so unsure whether they meet reliability/notability standards. About multiple independent companies rather than one. Article includes editing by an associated IP. The page is written a bit like a company's about page rather than encylopedia.

Keep It appears there are a few sources that qualify for the English wiki on the German wiki - one of the books looks self-published. The company is also mentioned in a book about the roof of the British Museum on the Spanish wiki. The article might need some cleanup, but the company appears clearly notable.

- Your references above to good sources are extremely vague. Which references did you mean and please post links here. Thank you. I'm unable to locate any references that are more than passing mentions so it's a Delete for me unless there are good references as per SportingFlyer. HighKing⁺⁺ 19:14, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - In English there's [1], there are two scholarly articles in German (though I can't track them down) and plenty of coverage from an Austrian newspaper search, for instance [2]. The other English language coverage I can find is similar to [3] which doesn't count but I'd find this very surprising if there's not significant coverage in German or Bulgarian, especially historical coverage.

Keep Whoa, there, soldier. This is the company behind the dome on the Louvre Abu Dhabi! I did wonder why this came up in the Emirates project. That there dome is architecturally most significant in the Emirates. [4] and [5] after a cursory search. Agree with SportingFlyer here.

Delete I'm curious how anybody could get to two keep votes and think these references are valid, particularly since they are in such a poor state. The de wikipedia articles references are also in a poor state and reflect the same failure in WP:NCORP particularly WP:ORGIND, WP:CORPDEPTH that they do here. They are a major engineering outfit, widely reported and should have an articles, but it must be verifiable and it is not in its current state. There is a lot of coverage, e.g. of this type: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/luxury/drinking-and-dining/first-look-inside-legendary-london-club-annabels-unveils-55m/ Assisting him in the £55m renovation are Viennese steel-and-glass engineering experts Waagner Biro. Name mentions, lots of them. It needs much better than that. scope_creep^Talk 13:59, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
