The result was   delete. While the contributor did contact OTRS (2009062210006211), the release was insufficient and a request to clarify sent on June 25 went unanswered. The article was listed at the copyright problems board for more than seven days without usable verification of permission. In addition to copyright issues, developing consensus here indicates the article lacks reliable sources to verify notability and is promotional. There is no prejudice against creating an article in original language, but a new article must remedy these other concerns. Accordingly, even if the contributor does supply permission, the text is insufficient to meet inclusion guidelines. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - spammy; no assertion of notability, no evidence of notability, copyvios out the wazoo from the COI creator. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If it is a copyvio then it is a speedy delete. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete even if the copyvio thing is cleared up via permission and relentless editing, since there is no notability that I could find. Surely a US company, if notable, would generate more than five hits on Google News. Drmies (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: Clearly this is a PR piece, but as per my earlier Tysabri tirade, this caught my attention, "Teva Neuroscience and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to create The Multiple Sclerosis Trend Report: " Back when Tysabri was being considered by the FDA for re-intro, someone from a univeristy came out with an abstract something to the effect that "Tysabri is as bad as HIV." Now, I like a little humour and human-side to science too, and there have been cases of Tysabru side effects, and a little hyperbole to jest with opposing research groups is fine but "you had to be there" as they say. LOL...
