Greetings. This article appears to be wikispam, i.e., an advertisement masquerading as an article. Articles considered advertisements include those that are solicitations for a business, product or service, or are public relations pieces designed to promote a company or individual. Wikispam articles are usually noted for sales-oriented language and external links to a commercial website. Blatant examples of advertising masquerading as articles can be speedily deleted.

When an article on an otherwise encyclopedic topic has the tone of an advertisement, the article can often be salvaged by rewriting it in a neutral point of view and adding context, e.g., historical relevance or community recognition. Please provide sources to establish the subject's notability. Of course, the need for sources goes beyond notability. Information added to an article must be verifiable, and facts included must be attributed to a reliable source. Please also see Wikipedia's guideline concerning conflicts of interest. Thanks. --Evb-wiki (talk) 16:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

This edit, in my mind, shows a good faith effort to bring the article into compliance. It still has a way to go, but it's progressed enough that I'm going to remove the tag I placed. I will be keeping an eye on the article and hope to see further refinements, especially integrating the news reports into the article itself. Pairadox (talk) 16:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
