• Don't delete the article. I'm very tired to explain to everyone that this is not spam, this is not an advertisment because nobody can find the article without knowing its name a priori. Please, stop defaming me and the article by messages as "delete this spam" as I'm a real author, and the software is well known among ISP and Telecom companies. It is popular among huge ISPs because of it's phenomenal performance. Or just delete it at all, with all the detractive messages, I didn't suspect such behavour of Wikipedia members. Regards, Konstantin Emelyanov

Comment This is not completely accurate. There is an internal link to this article from the UTM disambiguation page which has been deleted twice and reverted twice by the author of this article. Whether the subject of this article is popular among ISPs or not, it clearly does not meet the definition of a "notable company" as described on WP:CORP Justin 17:15, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment to the comment: This comment is not that exact. The author of the comment doesn't possesses the full information, he doesn't know the exact reason of deletion and doesn't know what was happening after that.

Comment: The reasons behind this request for deletion were the failure to meet the notability criteria in WP:CORP and the appearance of an advertisement masquerading as an article, see WP:ADS. The article also fails to cite any sources, it has a single editor, and as such, it appears to be original research. It certainly lacks any sort of verifiability of claims made in this AfD discussion, such as "huge ISPs" and "phenomenal performance".

The request for deletion is not a personal attack. It is not a statement on this product or the work of User:Konstantin_Emelyanov. He appears to be a new user and may not be fully familiar with certain policies, particularly regarding the AfD process (see user talk page). If there is any way the article can be modified to be in compliance with content policies, in good faith, I will support keeping it. Justin 18:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment to the comment: Information about the partners is available on the original Russian web site of the company: http://www.netup.ru/teh_partners.php , http://www.netup.ru/biz_partners.php . You may contact the company and ask questions in order to check whatever you need. Also, please see the certificates, which are legal documents granted by the ministry of communications of Russia. If this is not believable, ask about that in the ministry. The scanned certificates may be seen here: http://www.netup.biz/certificate.php. There may be also seen some technical details. If you need any other info, please contact the company. Best regards, Konstantin

• I can't tolerate this criticism any more. Why are you so captious? I thought that anyone can publish an article in Wikipedia. It's very easy to criticize whatever another man does. Ok, let's delete it instead of improving the content. Come on! You have created real public legal proceedings here. Let's proceed to the execution.

• This cannot be advertisement because of the article cannot be found without knowing it a priori. These two articles (User Traffic Manager, NetUP) are linked one to another. But there are no other external links, that's why this is a loop system. What is the problem, I can't comprehend? Konstantin
