A notability tag has been added and removed from the article a couple times with no notability established. The article was then WP:PROD'd and that was removed with an edit summary of "it's not the easiest thing to add notability to a brand new product..please be patient and wait at least for an update before change the status twice in a week..otherwise open a ticket for discussi". That leads me to believe that the editors who have been working on this article think of Wikipedia as an advertising platform. The only two "sources" are an article about a related product from Google and a mention in a blog which merely shows that the product exists. Note: The creator of the article was blocked due to their username being the same as the company that makes the WiSmart. Dismas|(talk) 17:09, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - I can find no coverage in reliable sources. The sourcing present in the article when I reviewed it consisted of a blog (unreliable source), and the SF Chronicle which is a reliable source, but the article itself makes no mention of the WiSmart so it does not verify anything nor counts for anything towards notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:14, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
