Article fails WP:CORP. Article was created by Carolinewhitham (talk · contribs) who is the Office Manager at Safetray Products with no other edits other than to promote Safetray Products Limited. They even Brag about it on their website. Has many links but they seem to be press releases, buisness relationships, distributors and trivial coverage or mentions. All which seem to fail WP:CORPDEPTH. Wikipedia is NOT a "vehicle for advertising". Hu12 (talk) 23:38, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Placing a purely promotional article into Wikipedia is bad enough, but crowing about it on the advertised entity's corporate web site (Look! We're in Wikipedia! We're really great! Buy from us!) is disingenuous and reprehensible abuse of the encyclopedia project. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 04:27, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy deleted as advertising. We can consider factors other than the text itself when judging whether an article be blatant advertising, and (1) the position of the creator and (2) the company website's use of the page combine with the problems of the article itself to demonstrate that this was created for advertising rather than for encyclopedic documentation.
