Was originally PROD'd by Wcam, appears to have always been a promotional/WP:ADMASK article. While the subject is probably notable enough for an article, I feel the current article needs blowing up and starting over from scratch as from the beginning it appears to have always been a conflict-of-interest piece. The edit history page is fascinating - multiple single-purpose accounts using very similar names, such as creator Luke078 (Ping's husband is called Luke - per this source and the sole source in the earliest verison of the article has a Luke O'Brien commenting to praise the subject - coincidence?) and LO090764); the subtly and not-at-all-conflict-of-interest-sounding PINGHE.Des1gn and PINGHE.Des2gn; and more recently, Aongusjoseph and Angusjosephwilson - I did a bit of poking around and it turns out that someone called Angus Joseph is Creative Assistant for PINGHE... Given that the Proposed Deletion was removed, I am bringing this to AFD. Mabalu (talk) 14:57, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
