SafeConsole

This article is a paid-editing piece developed through a conflict of interest via this request on freelancer.com which reads "We need help copywriting a text about our company, BlockMaster, and our products for wikipedia. BlockMaster provides a solution for protecting portable data – a secure USB flash drive and a management console. We need someone who can understand high-tech descriptions and who is very familiar with how wikipedia works. Deadline Fri, June 18th."

Wikipedia is not a medium for companies to promote themselves. This also appears to have sparse notability, as most of the references are to press releases and I am unable to find significant discussion of this product in multiple reliable sources. Two earlier articles were created by this user as part of the same project, and they were both recently deleted via AfD: see Articles for deletion/SafeStick and Articles for deletion/BlockMaster  Them  From  Space  02:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete and salt. This is a web-based secure USB management software developed by BlockMaster for administering SafeStick flash drives.  As noted, this is a habitual spammer. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:01, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. The whole process of paying to include an article in wikipedia is borderline to un-ethical. A more proper process could include volunteers. Pxtreme75 (talk) 08:58, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
