The result was speedy delete as a simple re-hash of the product advertising. A quick search on the names of the authors cited turned up the product's advertisement hosted on an "about the seller" page at eBay. The article is a straight lift of the potted quotations in the "what the experts are saying about our product" section of the product advertisement. There is no reason to suppose that this selection of opinions is neutral, representative, or presented in adequate context. There may be an encyclopaedia article to be had on this product. But simple paraphrasing of an advertisement is not how to construct an encyclopaedia article. A re-hash of an advertisement results in another advertisement. Wikipedia is not an advertising service. It is unacceptable to host this advertisement on a Wikipedia page whilst we await a proper encyclopaedia article (if one is possible) to be written. Uncle G 14:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Non-notable, advertisement, unencyclopedic Ronz 05:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Was prod'd as "Non-notable, unencyclopedic". Since then the single contributor to the article has expanded it to a simple advertisement, but has not provided any information to demonstrate it is notable in any way. --Ronz 05:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
