Speedy deletion nomination of Jot (dispenser)


A tag has been placed on Jot (dispenser), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ~ Junior5a   (Talk)   Cont  16:41, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The volume of discrete eye drops varies significantly between drug manufacturers. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10396391 .  A standard is needed which allows ‘a drop’ to be both accurately defined, in terms of its volume, and also in terms of precision in its delivery.   Since the term ‘drop’ cannot be related to a defined volume of liquid, nomenclature is therefore needed that provides a precise description of ‘a drop’ as it can be actually achieved.
 * The term: Jot has been related to ‘Iota ‘not the slightest amount’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iota; whereas ‘Iota’ is further related to ‘Tittle’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tittle.
 * jot is provide as a standard unit of volume, as used for the measurement and delivery of fluids and solids, wherein 1 jot has a volume of 10 micro liters (ul). The abbreviation for 'jot' is defined as lower case 'j'.  By way of example: 7 micro liters = 0.7j
 * You need to provide a reliable source for that measurement. None seem to be readily available, and one person or company declaring it, especially in relation to a product bearing that name, doesn't make it accurate. JamesG5 (talk) 18:35, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
