Technomancer Press

This article's content is comprised of thinly disguised spam promoting the company, whilst its products are listed in detail in the article body, the reference and external links sections. Strip away the self-promotion and the peacock language, this advertorial fails to demonstrate notabilty, which is yet to come. --Gavin Collins 16:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Funny how this made it to good article status then. FrozenPurpleCube 17:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have they changed the way articles make it to "good" status recently? Because I have always thought of that process as absurdly subjective. One spam account creats an article and the next spam account awards it "good" status.-Apollo58 17:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And that might perhaps be why I noted it. FrozenPurpleCube 18:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete in lacking coverage from reliable sources. Forums/etc are not reliable sources Corpx 18:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment GA does perplex me a little, because this is absurdly spammy. Doesn't mean a good article couldn't be written.DGG (talk) 05:08, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Weak delete While biased towards company, could be fixed by someone with knowledge of the field.Mbisanz 04:52, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I see no evidence of notability. MarkBul 05:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Even spam can be well-written! There seems to be an awful lot of detail written about the "products", just enough for the prospective buyer perchance? --WebHamster 05:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, well-written spam indeed. Realkyhick 08:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment While I agree that this is clearly spam, I'm not sure it should be deleted. The main problem is not the exiistence of the article or the notability of the publishing company, but the way it is presented. It could easily be rewritten in a more neutral and less promotional style and be acceptable. I'd suggest that the original author undertake such an effort and then let us judge it. --Hanging Jack 18:25, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
