 * Delete -- WP:OR - a poor quality essay. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:07, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Of the 4 references, 3 are dead links, and two of those were never formatted as references.  Most of is just a person essay giving someone's thoughts on the subject.  Why I said "WEAK delete" is because the subject might be encyclopedic and wp:notable. North8000 (talk) 21:55, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
