This article meets the criteria for WP:ADMASK - it is totally promotional in nature. Rogermx (talk) 20:26, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Concur with nom on ADMASK. Article is not written in an encyclopedic tone - it is highly promotional. Beyond that, it is totally unreferenced and I could find no independent RS, just a few brief list-type mentions. Therefore, there is also no notability. MB 05:27, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Only claim to notability is that it is "well known" and is "recognized" by the National Forensics League; in fact, it is listed as an advertiser/vendor[1]. Coverage of any kind is next to nonexistent. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:13, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
