Not only is this a blatantly and damningly advertising and there's the history changes to show for it, consisting of nothing but advertising-only accounts and IPs, it's clear to say only the company would advertise themselves so specifically and blatantly. Next, the sources are all then, not only blatantly published by PR webhosts, but they are all listing the same things (advertisements), showing the only likely author was the company itself of course. To also show the sheerness, searches then found nothing but this said published advertising. Once we start being lenient about accepting such blatant republished advertising, we start damaging ourselves because we're choosing to not even remove the simplest of advertisements. Especially also considering how long this advertisement has stayed, it only emphasizes the concerns and why we should remove such blatancy as fast as we can. Also note how this was unbelievably accepted instantly when it was submitted by the advertising-only account, but apparently no one cared to nominate until February 2014 in which the speedy was removed.
