There was an ad-hoc exercise taken out to split and merge a few variations on a publishing company name. Looking at the entries that have a database link it seems there are three similar but distinct company names - not an abbreviation of 'Publ.' for instance or a typo that part of the company name was missed or added, they are different companies and should be split, I think:
Pure Energy Music Pub., Inc. - has the most releases
Pure Energy Music Pub. Co., Inc - used exclusively for the Madonna song "Holiday"
Pure Energy Music, Inc. - used for one release: Maxine Singleton - Don't You Love It
Pure Energy Music Pub., Inc.

Pure Energy Music Pub. Co., Inc. - used exclusively for the Madonna song "Holiday"
https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/Madonna-The-Immaculate-Collection/release/4374454
Pure Energy Music, Inc.
https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/Maxine-Singleton-Dont-You-Love-It/release/4479200
Pure Energy Music Publishers - from 2002, seems a name variation of the "Holiday" publishing company
https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/Darren-Hayes-I-Miss-You/release/2246780
Pure Energy Music - not sure but seems a company name variation, releases could be assigned to one of the three?

@ uzumaki : You should better open a thread, ask, and looking for information before make changes...
All publishing companies you have listed here are the same. This is just name variation.
Official company name is : Pure Energy Music Publishing.
One source : Billboard Magazine December 17, 2005.
This company is owned by Pure Energy and this company is credited for their work as songwriters and/or producers.
They wrote songs for Madonna, Missy Elliot, Darren Hayes, Maxine Singleton, Lauriece Hudson, and probably many others...
They appear on all the links to releases you have listed. Just need to have look...
But I repeat : do your things dude.
Change whatever you want on the database even if it's wrong or incorrect.
Keep making changes without knowing what you're talking about.
Keep making Entirely Incorrect votes without knowing if you're right.
I don't have to waste my time with a kind of contributor like you.
Thanks for understanding. -

That's not so "official" it's just how the company was credited on Missy's release. In fact, it's not official at all:
Official company name is : Pure Energy Music Publishing.
One source : Billboard Magazine December 17, 2005.
Warner/Chappell Music and WB Music Corp. use Pure Energy Music Publishing Co., Inc

BMI uses Pure Energy Music Publishers Inc.
http://repertoire.bmi.com/Pub.aspx?detail=pubid&page=1&fromrow=1&torow=25&keyid=277306&subid=0
The official ed corporate name is Pure Energy Music Publishers Inc., which was incorporated in New Jersey (ed corpration number 000018629366) on August 27, 1981 by Wade Hudson.

So I'd say Pure Energy Music Pub., Inc. (which also has the most releases entered) is the correct profile reflecting the official company name. All the other variations can probably be chalked up to record companies and/or designers using a slightly incorrect/incomplete name. -

Other people made changes Mike_Rawphone - I did one edit following thier lead from a record in my collection and then you made all your changes with your my-way-or-the-high-way "FIXED" submission notes. These seem more than name variations to me and they should be discussed - sorry if it wastes your time.
Thanks https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/label/297829-Pure-Energy-Publishing-Co-Inc - adding this into the equation too, should we really merge them into one, why would it be so consistently different all the time for the Holiday track? The third example is used for just one record too but for a much smaller label. -

That's exactly why proper research as demonstrated by cheebacheebakid is needed before merging entries - because some s like the one above think they know it all, although they are wrong. -

Agreed https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/forum/thread/767694 I think they should be separated here - I cross-referenced there.
