Speedy deletion nomination of Pelvictoner
A tag has been placed on Pelvictoner, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

February 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Kegel exercise. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

 * Hi Cliff.. I am very disappointed at your decision. The Kegel exercise page is doing women a disservice by only featuring one product commonly promoted on the web as a vaginal dumbbell when in fact the PelvicToner is the only vaginal or Kegel exerciser with clinical trials to prove its efficacy. The point I was trying to make is that the dumbbell is only one approach to Kegel exercise and that the use of progressive resistance exercises of the type facilitated by the PelvicToner is the only form of exercise actually espoused by Arnold Kegel who published the research that launched his eponymous exercises on the world. Unfortunately we have no option but to mention this product by name because the phrase pelvic toner has now become a generic and is adopted by any old product that purports to 'exercise' or 'tone' the pelvic floor. The term exercise actually infers that the muscles must be worked and the only way that a muscle can be worked or exercised is if it lifts, pushes or squeezes against a resistive force such as a weigh or a spring. Please reinstate the content and give women a chance. If for no other reason than to let women in the UK that the UK National Health Service is now offering the PelvicToner on prescription and it is the only device with that endorsement Barrythewriter (talk) 20:13, 16 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, your edits all seem to be promoting the product PelvicToner. Wikipedia is not the place to "get the word" out about a product, you might consider setting up a conventional advertising budget.  Please review the notice and linked material at the top of my talk page, here.  You'll have little luck getting lengthy mentions of the PelvicToner to "stick" in individual articles, even if you revise the deleted Pelvictoner article to reduce its 'unambiguous advertising' tone (words from the notice above, I have not seen the article) and demonstrate that the product has sufficient notability to merit its own encyclopedia article.  I've added a template below to help you become more familiar with Wikipedia.  Regards, CliffC (talk) 20:56, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Hello Alpha Quadrant    talk  I do not know how you can say that the content is not verifiable when the article quotes extensively from referenced and linked peer reviewed research papers published in the British Medical Journal and the British Journal of Urology International. All other facts stated in the article merely repeat established medical and clinical thinking but I did not think it was permitted or relevant to link to reference sites outside wikipedia. The one reason why I proposed this article is to bring all the current information together and to counter and balance some of the blatant misinformation currently on Wikipedia eg kegel exercise and the reference to the kegel exerciser or vaginal barbell which out of date, bias, clinically unproven and simple product promotion This article fills a real void in information. It is factual, verifiable and does not mention a single branded product. In that respect it meets every requirement of wikipedia!! Barrythewriter
