The result was speedy delete and protect against creation as repeated recreation of AFD-deleted content and as advertising. This has been deleted under those criteria several times before and every re-creation of the article has been by which is clearly someone with a conflict of interest, given that the PR company named in the article used to be in Fitzrovia. This time, it was roughly a month after the immediately preceding deletion in 2015, with almost exactly the same content, bar some obvious copy and paste errors. There have been almost 7 years of editing since, but it turns out that every single actual content contributor has had a screamingly obvious conflict of interest as bad as has. I'm not going to give names, but every account that I checked has a direct and obvious correspondence with a person working for the PR company named in the article at the time that the edits were made, and they are all single-purpose accounts. The rationales in the first two AFD discussions apply, and this is without question persistent paid PR editing that should be expunged. Uncle G (talk) 23:03, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
