AKR Global Group

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable private company, article tagged as unreferenced for nearly two years. Even the company website is a deadlink - in fact the address akr-global.com is for sale and akrglobal.com is suspended.

At the beginning of 2013 there was this extremely spammy version, full of glowing adjectives but giving no hard information like turnover or staff numbers. That was PRODded, and the PROD promptly removed by an IP. The article was then trimmed back to this more neutral, but still uninformative, short version,

This site claims that AKR is "one of the largest North American based conglomerates", but in view of the lack of confirmation elsewhere I find that impossible to believe. Other searches find only routine listings and an April 2012 press release announcing the intention to open a call center in a place called "The Phillipeans". If that actually happened, it did not make the news. A web-hosting subsidiary called Smartweb is the only sign of current activity I can find. There is a one-minute Youtube "Corporate video" which says nothing, and a Twitter account where @AKRGlobal hasn't tweeted yet.

Conclusion: there is not the necessary "significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources" to establish notability. JohnCD (talk) 17:47, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
