The articles lacks of reliable and independent sources. More references should be added. (Onrop007 (talk) 22:33, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

Name & organizational change

There has been major changes to DNV GL since the merger, e.g. pertaining to number of employees. Perhaps we could ask some employees to contribute with facts? Also, the headline must be changed; I don't think I can do this.Bjornte (talk) 08:42, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Simonjon (talk) 09:59, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

• DNV GL certainly changed their name to DNV on 1 Match 2021. See that their website DNVGL.com now redirects to DNV.com and the logo on that site. Also their press release at https://www.dnv.com/news/dnv-gl-changes-name-to-dnv-as-it-gears-up-for-decade-of-transformation-194340 so I would rename DNV GL to DNV and have topped by a disambig link that mentions the airport etc Simonjon (talk) 09:59, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose. If moved, should move this to DNV (company) instead. That way we can move DNV (disambiguation) to DNV. –Novem Linguae (talk) 15:36, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
• Support as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for DNV. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 15:47, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

• @Novem Linguae: I think this case resembles BMW. The most well-known instance is the company DNV. Other uses are lesser-known and used abbreviations. I think the company should be the main DNV article, with a link to disambiguation page. I don’t think keeping the article under DNV GL as it is makes much sense as the company does not operate under that name any more. –Argeausian (talk) 20:06, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Support. From pageviews, web searches, and consideration that the other "DNV"s are not actual common names but instead acronyms, DNV GL is probably the wp:primary topic.

Another thing is that from web searches, there are uses of the new name in wp:secondary sources. Since secondary sources that use the new name are given more weight, the rename should also be compatible with wp:common name. ~ Aseleste_{charge-parity}^time 03:39, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
