Short reason: fails GNG. Long explanation: I first questioned the legitimacy of its inclusion when User:Blindkijin created it in 2008 with a brand new account as essentially an advertisement for the product. After a contested PROD, the article remained with a bit of cleanup. In my WP:BEFORE search, I found a few hits that might allow it to stay under GNG, but I believe these fall under routine coverage and blog-like entries. Nearly all of the gHits are facebook pages, twitter accounts, the Apple app store, or ads associated with the product itself. Another point worth mentioning is User:Blindkijin's very few, non-MedPage Today edits were adding external links to scientific articles that went directly to MedPage's website, leading me to believe s/he violated WP:COI and WP:ADVERT.
