TXR2

I moved this page from user's space per request thinking that the article is about a scientific concept but after reviewing the article more carefully, I found that the article is about a non-notable product that suppose to cool the body. appears to be the same person who posted this press release, and thus has a COI.

 * Comment See this. The official site of the product. Sole Soul (talk) 03:42, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment The only involvement that I have with this topic is that I met the group associated with this concept during a presentation which involved the use in US Military. I then read a report on their findings during their presentation to a Network TV show. I did write and submit this press release as a outside observer. Because I am a third party that has witnessed this concept in the field and its uses, can I submit or make changes? I believe this website listed above is for a separate product that is not mentioned in the Wikipedia page. The concept submitted to Wikipedia to be published is for a solution to a valid problem. It seems the designer and team has worked closely with several organizations including the US Armed forces, NASA and professional sports in developing this theory and concept.

 * Keep Sole Soul Thank you for your advice and help. I would like to close with the fact that I met this group of designers during a field test for the military and had an opportunity to see their research data. I was also hoping that Wikipedia would be a great outlet to educate the public on the issues found in the misleading wicking concept that is everywhere in sporting apparel.Adnam Innovations (talk) 15:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete – The author of this article violates WP:COI because of this. Also, it fails the notability test; just because the U.S. military or NASCAR uses this body cooler does not, of itself, make this product notable. — MC10 ( T • C • GB •L)  01:06, 17 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - this press release in question has been long removed from the Wikipedia article subject. Adnam Innov. was only the author, like we are the author of this Wikipedia article, all other credit goes to the designers and End Results. In fact, from the article Adnam Innov. has no contact info. The press release is about testing a garment that utilizes the TXR2 technology. After meeting the team during a field test and seeing the technology at work is when we decided to submit any articles including this one to Wikipedia. I believe the fact that it has been used in the Military and NASCAR and credited for helping conditions makes it worthy of being published and i hope notable. In closing we decided to submit this story because we are a neutral, Independent of the subject and we reliably sourced this topic before submitting. I do understand that issue may be taken that we met this team during a field test, but we consider that part of the interview process.

 * Please don't vote twice. Also, your username itself seems promotional. — MC10 ( T • C • GB •L)  06:02, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Adnam is developing software applications for use. However, we never intended to use this article to promote ourselves. I don't think that from a published aspect our name even shows up in or around the article. Adnam Innovations (talk) 06:46, 17 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:COI is reason to cautiously evaluate the contributions of User:Adnam Innovations, not carte blanche to dismiss them entirely. Google though returns only press releases for TXR2+thermal and for TXR2+heat. If the thromboxane article were more mature I'd recommend redirecting TXR2 there. As it is, this article should be deleted because it lacks significant coverage in reliable sources to establish the notability of its subject. Yappy2bhere (talk) 17:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
