Kinesio tape

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Blatant advertisement for a product (it looked even worse before I removed all of the trademark symbols). I had placed a speedy tag but it was removed by the user who made the current ad-like version of the article. The only notable mention I can even find is one article in Swimming World Magazine. The entire article would need to be scrapped though and re-written even if the product was notable (which I have my doubts about).  TJ   Spyke   22:02, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I'll be more than happy to adjust this article to a more neutral point of view. --KinesioTaping (talk) 22:14, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This user is also requesting a move to Kinesio Tape, on the grounds of trademarking. Delete as spam for non-notable product. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:38, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * As it stands,Delete as spam. I feel there could be notability in the product but possibly more in the future than now, but there needs to be a complete neutral rewrite without the bias introduced possibly by an editor with a username that might warrant administrator attention. If suitable references can be supplied (sounds like I'm looking for a new butler...) and a neutral tone ("How does it work?" No. That's brochure writing.) adopted, I might be willing to shift my 'vote'. Peridon (talk) 22:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep--on the one hand, this article is the worst piece of spam I've seen in a while. On the other hand, there is this Google News search which suggests that the product itself is notable. The article needs to rewritten from start to finish, and it might be a good idea if users with the words "Kinesio" and "tape" or any combination thereof would stay far, far away from the article. To users with such words in their name: please see WP:COI. Drmies (talk) 23:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * speedy delete (g11) I'd remove the spammy text if there was any hope of saving this, but the only way to save it would be to start new. This is beyond gone.-- Terrillja talk  01:45, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as blatant advertising. --DAJF (talk) 01:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per G11, now that I've blocked creator. Daniel Case (talk) 02:44, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
