This is a long article in essay form, offering advice to the reader, with only two independent references. Probable conflict of interest involved. Deb (talk) 18:32, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The article has changed somewhat over the years, but examination of a sample of versions over its history suggests that at no time has it been anything other than an essay, giving personal commentary and, as Deb says, advice to the reader. Virtually all of the content of the article has always been unsourced. It has also been repeatedly edited over the years by editors with a clear connection to one company, who have added promotional links to this and other articles, and it seems plausible that it has always been promotional in intent; it has certainly always had a promotional tone. There is also a possibility of copyright infringement, as pointed out on the article's talk page almost 6 years ago.
