Notability on this article is unclear. The author is the inventor of this device [1] and has been pushing related subjects with links to his web site. Might be notable, but seems more promotional than anything. No reliable sources are provided to support notability. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 10:42, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Notability is not established and as far as I can see (for the author does not communicate with us) the article is here only for the purpose of pushing this invention. I don't have the specialist knowledge to tell me if this is independently notable, and I'd like someone other than the original author to be able to demonstrate that it is, if it is. Otherwise I fear that the encyclopaedia is being used as a promotional tool to drive traffic to the site, and not for strictly encyclopaedic purposes. DBaK (talk) 11:17, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — Not notable as far as I can tell, and certainly promotional. The name seems to be a trademark.[2] Rees11 (talk) 13:55, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - promotional, non-notable -- few Google web hits and no GNews hits. FWIW, patent mention here. --CliffC (talk) 14:44, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - self promoting, external refs don't actually support the product (rather they support the topic of UTI). peterl (talk) 20:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
