This article has been a spam magnet since creation, every single reference in it was a link to some company's product claims and the external links section was just a spam farm (I've just blacklisted one repeat offender). The article itself reads as a personal essay. Guy (Help!) 14:37, 3 April 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:03, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep based on what it looked like before it was cleansed . If the article were solely based on one corporate website, it would be advertising.  Posting links to the sites of multiple companies, however, is a legitimate means of sourcing.  While book and news links would be a welcome addition, there are some products that are not interesting enough to get a lot of coverage.  You're to be credited, of course, for helping this article keep a neutral tone, but blacklisting the entire subject is not helpful to Wikipedia.  Mandsford (talk) 17:12, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
