  • Delete I A7ed it and it was declined because two of the products were blue-linked (PEAKS and RAPTOR (software), which I did not see at the time. Both of the product pages appear to be spam creations as well, with one of them having either sock or meatpuppetry involved to save it from G11 back in 2008 [1]. As for this article, there is no in-depth third-party reliable sourcing out there. When I checked before the A7 tag, all that could be found were blogs and press releases. Everything else was using bioinformatics in a generic sense about another company's products. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:50, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This series of articles may have been created by single-purpose corporate accounts. Bioinformatics solutions inc by Bm-posting, PEAKS by FTMS ("for tandem mass spectrometry"?), RAPTOR (software) by Bsiraptor. I'm an inclusionist, but this does quack like a PR campaign.

Yes, I haven't nominated the software yet because I'm still trying to determine if they have any notability, but it does appear to be a COI/paid-editing situation on them as part of a PR campaign. If anyone who is more familiar with the subject matter could take a look at the software to see if it is notable independent of the publisher it would be great. If not, I'll probably AfD them at some point today or tomorrow. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
