Non notable market research firm. Every reference is  either self-published or a routine notice based on  press releases,.  DGG ( talk ) 21:57, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Strong keep. Easy keep. Agree with the above. Plenty of citations from reputable sources. They are clearly notable by how much their content is cited in other publications. E.g.. However, some references should clearly not be there - Yahoo listing and Linkedin profile! Some are clearly also based on press or have a large spin from the company or owners. However, for a media-savy company perhaps that should be expected to some degree. But easy keep. GoldenClockCar (talk) 12:57, 28 December 2013 (UTC) 
 * Well, there are quite a few citations of their various market studies in Google Books and Google Scholar, so I'm inclined to think they might be notable. We should probably treat them as a we do press agencies (or academics) in this respect, i.e. if they are cited enough they are notable. How much is enough though? They seem to have thousands of citations, so I would say it's a keep. (Look for example how many times they've been cited in WSJ just in the last month . In total, there are something like 55 pages (1000+ results) of ghits for eMarketer on WSJ's site alone.) Sure it would be nice to dig some WP:GNG coverage about the company itself, but going through thousands of pages is a lot of work... We might as well delete Forrester Research for it has a comparable number of hits in WSJ last month . (Gartner has two or three times that number). And there are some web pages out there comparing eMarketer to Forrester and some books do that as well , so this isn't outlandish... This  for example works towards satisfying GNG.
