Please revert to my last version. I have two comments -
(1) The report referenced in this article is currently being "sold" for $399 which means that it is not accessible or helpful to readers. I have updated the discussion with a more recent report called "The CPO's Agenda" that is freely available on the web
(2) The external link that was taken down is to the only media site focused on Chief Procurement Officers
1) We can cite articles that need to be purchased to be read, this is allowed by the
sourcing guidelines. What we cannot do is link to a copyrighted report hosted on a third party's web site in violation of that copyright.
1) OK - Then we should update the article using what I wrote and link to the report below which is more updated and actually refers to what a CPO does, not what a CFO thinks about a CPO
People arguing for a blog's inclusion love to quote "recognized authority" but they seldom bring up the rest of that point: "as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people" -
