Spam, note the creator's clear SPA/COI from their username, User:PayWizard plc. I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Dalliance with the following rationale "enough refs. here to justify taking to AfD". Ok, so we are here - there are plenty of refs, and they all seem unreliable, niche, not-in-depth, and so on. I don't see anything better. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:35, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Should have been speedily deleted as soon as it was created two years ago for unambiguous advertising and clear COI. Wikipedia is not a means of promotion. Most other main contributors are also suspect SPAs. Despite existing for two years the content is still entirely advertising with nothing worth keeping. Google results for the subject are very sparse. Citobun (talk) 08:15, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - searches turned up enough that it might be notable, but the article's promotional air would suggest WP:TNT is appropriate. Per WP:DEL4. The article has been tagged for over two years regarding its tone, without improvement. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:53, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
