The article is unambiguous advertisement. My request for speedy deletion was granted, although the article was restored when one contributor provided the following reasons: "The article exists for 10 years, addresses a technology used by an open source/commercial community of 25.000 users, won several awards". This reason itself sounds like advertisement to me. Also the "10 years" claim is inaccurate. Codename Lisa (talk) 19:52, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as unambiguous advertising. Topic does seem borderline notable, though: this article on MSDN discusses it and I'm able to verify the award. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 12:33, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Qwertyus: The MSDN article is about something with a similar name but not the same entity. Hint: The ILNumerics that MSDN talks about is free software. This one is non-free. See: http://ilnumerics.net/overview.html. I don't know if such a name collision can be legal, but a duck test fails here. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 14:32, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Codename Lisa: looks like there was originally a GPL'd edition; see this Channel 9 post. The article used to say something similar: "After 6 years of open source development, the project added a closed source, proprietary license in 2011, aiming business and academic developers at the same time."
