Written like an advertisement, previously deleted.

Note of full disclosure: I was made aware of this page because I have previously written an article on Bob's Watches and someone found this article and noticed its promotional tone which violates guidlines. —Justin (koavf)TCM 01:44, 22 September 2016 (UTC) (COI amended 21:01, 29 September 2016 (UTC))[reply]

  • Delete and salt. Just commercial blurb. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:43, 22 September 2016 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete. purely promotional article about promotional website, DGG ( talk ) 07:41, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I note that there do seem to be a small number of citations that MIGHT convey notability... but the problem is that this page is so severely an advertisement that even if it is notable, there's nothing to salvage for a real article. So even if notability applies, I'm actually going to buck my long-standing trend of avoiding WP:TNT, and say that WP:TNT applies here IFF notability is actually established. Delete without prejudice for being recreated WITHOUT being an advertisement and firmly establishing notability with real, valid, reliable sources. Fieari (talk) 03:39, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:PROMO as "corporate spam" of which section "Buy Back Guarantee" is just one example. Salting may be a good idea, to avoid wasting volunteer editors' time in an event of likely recreation. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:31, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
