Keep: I am personally flabbergasted (probably an inappropriate reaction for an editor) that anyone would think that ACORD fails the WP:GNG and/or WP:ORG tests. As a software vendor and consultant to the North American insurance industry for the last 30 years, I have personally known of ACORD as one of the leading standards bodies in the various insurance spaces. Hey, look at https://www.acord.org/membership/Pages/OurMembers.aspx - these companies all use ACORD...do companies like Aegon, AIG, American Bankers, American Family Life Assurance Company of America (yes, AFLAC of the duck fame on television), American General Life, Aon, AXA - look, I am still in the "A"s! - do these names mean nothing to whoever proposed this article for deletion?

Keep: Article should not be deleted, but IMPROVED - this organization has received significant coverage from independent sources; a quick Google search reveals that. ACORD is of strong relevance to the insurance industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.52.243.152 (talk) 03:52, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
