Sounds very much like an advertisement with phrases like "With tremendous achievements made in past many years, IndiaMART has even bigger expansions planned for its user-base. It intends to become the search engine for businesses." all over the article, speedied 4 times before, current version was G11d by Deb before being restored for AfD after a discussion on IRC. WP:SPAM. Thanks, and cheers, Lixxx235-Talk 16:59, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and rewrite to remove all promotional phrasing. Articles like this one, already used as a reference, establish quite clearly that this is a highly notable website in India. Of course, we should have an article about IndiaMART. Normal editing is the solution to the article's problems, not deletion. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:53, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The India Times refs (2) are good, but nothing else seems reliable. The sources are currently borderline, can anyone provide examples of more reliable sources? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:36, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  There are two The Economic Times refs and one The Times of India ref. Red Herring top 100 is also good. And here are some more: Business Line [1], The Indian Express [2], one more The Economic Times [3]. It's also in the Bharat Bhasker's book "Electronic Commerce" published by Tata McGraw-Hill. So I would say that it has the necessary significant coverage. --Cosmopolite1 (talk) 15:05, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
