Typenex - Transfusion Safety Wristbands
Originally tagged for speedy deletion as copyright violation from, yet in its latest version the article asserts there is permission to publish the text here. So it goes to AfD.


 * This is a blatant advertisement, and there is really no need to have an entry on a specific brand of transfusion-related equipment. Wikipedia isn't an advertising medium for Baxter Healthcare. Pilatus 15:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep & Clean (if possible, see below) The page seems to contain enough generally useful information that it could be salvaged as an article, if the specific references to the "Typenex-Transfusion Safety Wristbands" is removed. Once those are removed, what remains is an article on a notable subject, which is blood tansfusion errors.  The page should then be renamed to remove the brand reference, renamed to something like "Blood Transfusion Safety Systems" or "Blood Transfusion Errors" Now as to the copyright issue, that's another story, because we have no way of knowing if such permission was given.  Salvaging the article then would require figuring out how much of the text is copied.  If that cannot be done, then I am afraid it would have to be deleted and replaced.

 * All of it is copied. Note that the release notice says "republished with the permission of Typenex Medical L.L.C.", not "Released under GFDL". Pilatus 18:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as advertisement (the simple solution). Anville 21:07, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Anyone can go to the relevant sources and write an article on blood transfusion safety. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 15:10, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
