I previously deleted this article about a medical product as a copyvio, but Ticket:2011051810012889 does make clear that the text, taken from the manufacturer's website, has been properly licenced. I'm submitting it to a regular deletion discussion because nothing in the article, or in a Google search, establishes the notability of the product. The article creator, identified in the OTRS ticket as the "Senior Marketing Manager" of the manufacturer, is currently blocked by me as an advertising-only account. Even if the product is notable, the article should be deleted and rewritten from scratch by somebody who does not have a conflict of interest, since given its provenance we cannot assume that the current text is a neutral description of the product, and because the article concerns a complicated medical topic, most editors can't easily check it for neutrality.

- Delete. Original research. No evidence that this has been properly validated, and no WP:MEDRS-compatible sources supporting DNA-based screening for AMDm. JFW | T@lk 19:43, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Promotional; also synthesis/original research. The term Macula Risk is trademarked and proprietary [1]; a search of PubMed for this phrase finds nothing. --MelanieN (talk) 21:02, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as a product brochure. Fails WP:NOT PAPERS. BusterD (talk) 11:49, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
