The result was   delete. Some of the arguments in favor of keeping don't address the issue of notability, so after a thorough examination of the discussion, it seems consensus supports deletion here. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 13:21, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Endless Pools

This article about a non publicly traded company reads more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article. I'm not too familiar with the company in detail, but I doubt its notability. — ASPENSTI — TALK — CONTRIBUTIONS  12:19, 30 September 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete, weakly. While this is a consumer business, I have found no sources other than the one provided; Google News yields nothing of value.  - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 13:50, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Comment: This news article highlights a program that Endless Pools has been involved in, in conjunction with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. More details here.  Certainly the endless pool concept, and this company in particular, have been the primary subject of many other articles, such as this one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanata (talk • contribs) 05:16, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've now added a couple of sentences and the relevant reference from above. Shanata (talk) 05:28, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Endless Pools & Endless Pool are registered trademarks of Endless Pools, Inc. The listing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endless_Pool currently resolves to a generic "Swimming Machine" category listing. While we are a type of swimming machine our trademarked term shouldn't be used as a redirect and category title. Please advise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EndlessPools (talk • contribs) 16:56, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep No longer reads as an advertisment and cites multiple sources.Bvdrunner (talk) 20:56, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as this article is pure product placement. The addition questionable sources that simply describe or praise the product does nothing to suggest that this product is notable; rather it makes maters worse, as the content of this article is mere spam. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 09:43, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Gavin.collins makes a good point, the notable aspect of the Endless Pools article is not the company, but rather the type of exercise equipment they produce, which is partially covered in the current swimming pool article's section on exercise pools and is significantly elaborated in the article Resistance swimming.  In fact, this article already specifically mentions Endless Pools. Shanata (talk) 03:51, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
