This article is a paid-editing piece developed through a conflict of interest via this request on freelancer.com which reads "We need help copywriting a text about our company, BlockMaster, and our products for wikipedia. BlockMaster provides a solution for protecting portable data – a secure USB flash drive and a management console. We need someone who can understand high-tech descriptions and who is very familiar with how wikipedia works. Deadline Fri, June 18th."

Wikipedia is not a medium for companies to promote themselves. This also appears to have sparse notability, as most of the references are to press releases and I am unable to find significant discussion of this product in multiple reliable sources. This is nominated alongside another article created via this job, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BlockMaster. Them From Space 15:33, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Goes completely against Wikipedia policies as well as the spirit of it. Paying people to spam Wikipedia is just not on.
I still believe, that the product which is claimed (by such a reliable source as eWeek magazine) to outperform its competitors (which have articles in Wikipedia) has both the right and the need to be presented here, no metter what the motivation of the main contributor is.

Delete per nomination, Promotional intent is obvious: a secure USB flash drive that protects data with hardware encryption and mandatory password security.... Article is nothing more than a features list. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
