promotional article on dubiously notable online marketing firm, which includes among its promotion for its clients awarding them a non-notable award. "Some of the popular names that have been associated with this event are...." The refs, wherever published are either notices or PR. The previous afd was closed saying "promotion can be removed", but though I and Brianhe have tried, it keeps getting added; and if it were all removed, there would be nothing left.

• Delete as advert masquerading as an article. Most sources are press releases, so fails WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:11, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

• Delete as questionably notable, even with some links here and there, this can be deleted for now at best until better is available. SwisterTwister talk 23:52, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
• Delete Promo junk failing WP:CORP. Interesting how three out of five named awardees of their IndiaMART Leaders of Tomorrow Award are familiar to me from the spam or COI noticeboards, or both: Flipkart (both); Cloudnine Hospitals (both); Zee Business (COIN). Of the remainder, one was PRODed by DGG and dePRODed by the SPA creator [1]. Without the dubious awards they give or receive, including the section just mentioned, the amazingly PROMO and WP:CRYSTAL section titled "Future Projections", the paragraph on their "brand ambassador" celebrity, and a cite for a subsidiary whose article was just deleted as non-notable [2], there would be ... let's see one whole citation concerning routine startup funding.

• Strong Keep, I am surprised to see Article for deletion at India's largest B2b online marketplace and world's second largest after Alibaba. (Review all new references added in the page) I can ignore the fact of 200 crore in annual revenue, but cannot ignore 20,000 crore of annual sales handled through its portal. Every newspaper and news channel in India covers India's largest online marketplace 3-4 times in a year. When I was looking for references, there were atleast 3,000 qualified references. (Google News) It is one of India's first and leading online portal. If the article is badly written, the focus must be on working rather than deleting without making a thorough research. It has completed several acquisitions and investments in several startups of India. If still you are not convinced, please delete Alibaba Group too after it, it's only 3-4 times bigger than Indiamart. Probably Microsoft can be considered for deletion after it, as it only sells computers and softwares which most of the people don't use or know about it(same is with Indiamart).Harshad.mehtashell (talk) 17:34, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
• 'Keep IndiaMART is a 20 year old company, claimed to be the largest B2B marketplace in India. Reliable and notable publications like Business Line [3], The Indian Express [4], one of India's renowned newspapers, The Economic Times [5]. There are many more notable links that may be used as reference. Keep and rewrite in an appropriate language with only relevant information and references.
