Even though specific references to the product are eliminated from the article, it is essentially a copy of the references pdf file from a commericial site. In addition, since the title of the article is the product name, it is still referring to a commercial product. So, the article has two problems &mdash; a copyright issue (and from a commercial site) and an advertising issue. Therefore, the article is subject to speedy deletion. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 22:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
