• Weak Keep I added some more recent coverage, but it's not great. Mostly niche coverage in trucking publications, and tied to the organization's press releases. Not a very sexy group, but they have been around for a while and seem to have a large and influential membership. Its safety events are reported every year in trucking news media. [https://www.busandmotorcoachnews.com/tag/commercial-vehicle-safety-alliance/ These new stories] are all minor and about the group's activities and not itself, but show their influence in the industry. Could also be a merge prospect to Automotive safety#Vehicle programs. No opposition if that's consensus. TechnoTalk (talk) 19:30, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

• ::I'm sticking with the weak keep. There's a lot of coverage of the group's activities in transportation publications [https://www.fleetmaintenance.com/equipment/brakes-tire-and-wheel/article/21270255/commercial-vehicle-safety-alliance-cvsa-cvsa-brake-safety-week-prep-guide], [https://www.trucknews.com/human-resources/cvsa-human-trafficking-awareness-program-to-return/1003166000/], [https://www.fleetowner.com/safety/article/21243789/cvsas-brake-safety-week-will-gather-truck-equipment-data-this-summer], [https://www.truckinginfo.com/10175411/nearly-1-300-trucks-put-out-of-service-for-brake-problems], [https://www.ccjdigital.com/regulations/safety-compliance/article/15293992/cvsa-brake-safety-week-eyes-brake-hose-chafing], etc. It would certainly be better if there was more coverage of the group's history and executive team. WP:ORG talks about audience, saying {{tq|attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability}} I think that's the crux. Are these trucking publications limited interest and circulation? I'm not a trucker and don't really know, so I'm leaning on the side of keep. TechnoTalk (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:NCORP and latest sources brought to this board are all press releases, so do not contribute to establishing notability. Slywriter (talk) 20:16, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:NCORP. The coverage must be there. scope_creep^Talk 18:03, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
• Comment There are no press releases in this article. There's nothing that says a press release can't be used to generate related coverage. That's why they exist. All the sources are in independent reliable third party sources, the very definition of WP:NCORP. Nonetheless, to satisfy Scope and the others, I just did another search, and found that public safety officials in every state and Canada, including [https://www.azdps.gov/organization/hpd/cve Arizona], [https://portal.ct.gov/DMV/Commercial-Vehicle-Safety/Commercial-Vehicle-Safety/Truck-Inspections Connecticut], [https://www.psp.pa.gov/law-enforcement-services/Pages/PSP-Commercial-Vehicle-Safety-Division.aspx Pennsylvania], [https://highwaypatrol.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2019/06/2019-CVSA-OOS-Criteria.pdf Utah], [https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/osss/truck/vehicle New York], [https://www.chp.ca.gov/programs-services/programs/commercial-vehicle-section California], and [https://www.gov.nl.ca/motorregistration/commercial-vehicles-and-drivers/national-safety-codes/ Canada], all either discuss CVSA guidelines or link to the CSVA website as resources. Indeed the [https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/osss/truck/vehicle New York source] specifically says {{tq|Inspectors will follow an inspection procedure established by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) to inspect the driver and vehicle. These procedures are used throughout North America.}} The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) [https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/08/27/2021-18474/certification-for-conducting-driver-or-vehicle-inspections-safety-audits-or-investigations credits the CVSA] with helping establish FMCSA's driver certification processes. The entire chapter 7 of the Washington State Commercial Vehicle Guide is about [https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/publications/manuals/fulltext/M30-39/CVG.pdf CVSA]]. States even issue CVSA decals for trucks that pass inspections. See [https://www.in.gov/dor/files/cmv-guidebook.pdf Indiana's Commercial Vehicle Guidebook]. There's also a [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9542545/ National Library of Medicine paper] studying the association's safety criteria. You can do a similar WP:BEFORE search using the phrase "commercial vehicle safety alliance gov" to find much more along these lines, after page 3. None of that is PR and certainly isn't traditional media coverage, but it shows the group's notability and influence within vehicle safety organizations. There's no doubt that this is useful information for Wikipedia's readers. TechnoTalk (talk) 22:50, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
