Global eProcure

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable corporation. Claims to fame include repeated listing in the top 100 list of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. While this source verifies at least one such listing, the magazine's website is in terrible shape and other appearances on the list cannot be verified. However, even if verified, the article listing provides only a cursory listing, not the in-depth coverage needed to build an article. A survey of the article's history will show a history ripe with COI editing. The article as written today is overtly promotional, and with insufficient sources with which to rewrite the article, the spam cannot be sufficiently mitigated.

 * Speedy delete and salt. Current text is unambiguous advertising and too meaningless to improve by editing: ....leading procurement technology, procurement outsourcing and procurement consulting company dedicated to delivering savings.  Top 100 lists do not constitute a minimal claim of importance, much less enduring significance.  Note also five prior speedy deletions and recreations as spam. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:35, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Two Google News searches, "Global EProcure Subhash Makhija" and "Global eProcure" both provided several original and republished press releases, with non-press releases here, here, here, here, here, here and here (minor mentions). In this search, even going as far as the fifth and sixth pages don't provide anything substantial and only promotional press releases. I found another Indian news article here that mentions them a little more. Searches with the other two key people (Neha Shah and Jagadish Turimella) provided press releases and a search with Roopa Makhija provided an article the subject wrote. A Google Books search provided some results (mostly Cram101, which republishes Wikipedia content) in the first three pages, some of the sources are minor mentions as well, directories or don't provide the relevant preview. The sdcexec.com website provided several results which seem useful but are overshadowed by the plethora of press releases. A search at thefreelibrary.com revealed press releases and another minor mention, nothing useful. As for the acquisition, news searches found mostly press releases and one tampabay.com article. I usually lean towards delete when the press releases outweigh the significant and third-party links and several of these reliable sources only briefly mention them.
