The result was delete. I see no need to discuss this further. It's a SNOW close, and I am protecting against re-creation. DGG ( talk ) 18:36, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

TruBrain

This subject has been on my Watchlist since an ongoing WP:SPI last year highlighted this job on eLance. It has now been created by an SPA which is obviously a throw-away account created for the purposes of creating this article. The sources are exactly what you'd expect to see under the circumstances - the barest of passing mentions in articles about other things. Nothing close to what is required by WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH. Also nothing close to what we would require from products making massive medical and scientific claims per WP:MEDRS. St★lwart¹¹¹ 23:58, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE This appears to be an advertisement or promotional article not worthy of Wikipedia. Thetechgirl (talk) 18:37, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concern. I am not being compensated by the company nor does this article make any medical claims. Pay close attention to the language of this article. Lastly, I am not a SPA. Priorityfootball (talk) 19:56, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You had made no other contributions prior to creating this article. You have made a couple of minor edits to other articles since. The company in question has a history of paying people to come here, create account and then create articles/links related to them. You cam here, created an account and then created an article about them. The article quotes the company's medical claim in the opening paragraph. St★lwart¹¹¹ 01:09, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing WP:NCORP with only one non-trivial source; the LA Business Journal source give TruBrain only a brief sentence in a list of other startups, and the CBS New York source is about smart pills in general with only a single sentence about TruBrain. --McGeddon (talk) 12:30, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:CORP: The three outside references provided give only a passing (one sentence or less) mention to TruBrain; no significant coverage. Fails WP:MEDRS; makes medical claims but no proper medical sourcing is provided. The company is only two years old and is promoting an unproven product. We should not have an article about it, period. Kudos to Stalwart for being so on top of this. --MelanieN (talk) 01:30, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
