This "article" has been tagged for nearly a year as non-notable and lacking references for the same period with no improvement. Also reads as an advertisement. Previously proposed for deletion a year ago with ambivalent results but the near-complete lack of attention to improving the article demonstrates its lack of notability. It's just a tiny company's brochure masquerading as an article of note. B.Rossow ^talk_contr 16:18, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I should have noted in the original rationale that this article doesn't come close to passing WP:CORP. -- B.Rossow ^talk_contr 15:04, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. While I'd tend to say the feminine menstrual cup market isn't covered well, the reality is that I couldn't find reliable sources to confirm notability of GladRags. In fact, I could only find one article about the company that possibly wasn't a press release. (in case anyone can access it, see "Courtney, Emily", "Delicious Living; Oct2007, Vol. 23 Issue 10, p16-16, 1/3p, 1 color", abstract: "A list of feminine-hygiene products which can be utilized by women during menstrual period is presented. They include the divacup with a silicone cup, gladrags reusable menstrual pads, organic cotton tampons from Natracare company, and chlorine- and fragrance-free sanitary pads from Seventh Generation Inc.", ISSN 15365980). tedder (talk) 03:39, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant delete - Hard to believe this hasn't been covered somewhere, such as the feminist press; but seems to be the case. Fails WP:V and WP:CORP. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:14, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
