Not sure why we kept this the first time. The other discussion is not picked up by the software, as the company had a different name then: see Articles for deletion/SmileCareClub. Per the talk page, this has been subject to an absurd amount of what appears to be UPE or COI editing. Bad refs, including lots of SPS, and the branded pictures! And promotional language. Even if others think the refs are sufficient per NCORP this needs to be rewritten from scratch based on independent, good quality sources. Jytdog (talk) 21:16, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. The minor changes from editors in question have been removed. Additionally, it looks like this article is all factual and provides correct information about the company. Even if it was written by the company, should that matter? The most important thing is that the information is correct, and I don't think that anyone outside the company could do a better job of that or provide nearly as much content, anyway. There doesn't seem to be any self promotion to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.24.182.162 (talk) 18:17, 19 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. It appears that representatives of the company made edits to correct and clarify inaccurate information about the company and the aligner therapy treatment. That’s not promotion but factual information.  To take it down for making those clarifications and corrections seems overly aggressive and discriminatory.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.230.13.82 (talk) 17:55, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
