Advertising that fails Notability. This is a speculative article about an unrealeased future product from a company seeking to generate buzz in order to attract investors. The only coverage is blog posts from the likes of Wired, Gizmodo, etc who simply regurgitate press releases and cool looking graphics from anybody with a sci-fi looking idea. This is trivial coverage and fails the requirement for sustained, in depth coverage from independent sources. Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:27, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is an article describing the product that is being developed. Anyone who wants more coverage than well-known and respectable Wired and Gizmodo is welcome to Moscow to look at working prototypes. Maybe the community wants more photos of the working process? It's not quite a problem. Just for information - the "copyrighted image" is not the property of Wired, but a part of LiveMap video. If Mr. Bratland payed more attention to the question he could notice it. Anyway he is welcome to visit Moscow too. --Bear on bike (talk) 15:49, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, what you're saying is, you represent LiveMap and so you have a conflict of interest here. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:10, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination information above. Non-notable promotional article. Article creator is Bear on bike who seems to be a representative of the company.kikichugirl (talk) 20:58, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom -- Gizmodo said it wasn't even a prototype yet in June. Wikipedia should not be covering it at this stage of development and sketchy third party coverage. — Brianhe (talk) 05:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
