This is a promotional article about a nonnotable subjec that has not been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources. It is puffed up quite a bit but none of the citations evidence much notability.
It was recently deleted via this AfD discussion, but the speedy deletion was declined for a bizarre reason (that there were too few participants in the original AfD for it to be binding?!) I still stand by my original deletion rationale that this is a nonnotable subject puffed up into an encyclopedia article, probably for promotional purposes.
The only reliable source added since the deleted version is [1] this document which only provides a passing mention of the company and a discussion of it "in their own words" (ie: not as a third-party source). ThemFromSpace 03:06, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This is on the borderline of notability, but the only source which could demonstrate the GNG is met is this but I would like to see more coverage by other, more main stream sources, before we have an article on it. SmartSE (talk) 11:49, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: I looked around for some more info last month, expecting to be able to expand this article so as to make it read less like an avert but finally came to the conclusion that it is non-notable. Still looks non-notable.--Aspro (talk) 13:12, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
