I previously added a PROD to this article. The PROD was promptly removed by the article creator, who provided the following rationale on my talk page:

"I saw you placed Notability and Deletion tag on the article. It appears you have not gone through the references! If a detailed coverage in Daily Telegraph and BBC doesn't establishes Notability I don't know what else does. Anyway if you still have "issues" with the content discuss it on talk-page, Reinstating those tags will force me to consult an admin and ask him whether or not the article is Notable or not. Good luck."

Per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), that the subject has received coverage in two reliable sources does not necessarily confer notability. The subject has not received wide-ranging coverage in secondary sources as required. The coverage is not particularly "detailed". Google results are very sparse and dominated by self-published and promotional stuff.

Furthermore, the article creator is a single-purpose account and the article is written in a promotional tone of voice. Wikipedia is not a means of promotion. Citobun (talk) 10:08, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
