YXY Building Blocks

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is just an advertisement. YXY is a collective trade name for one company's bundling of several industrial chemicals. Wikipedia already has articles for each of these chemicals. There is nothing notable whatsoever about this branded product. None of the references refer to YXY (just the individual chemicals) except the last two which are not independent sources, so there are no independent third-party sources about the YXY brand. If the promotional content were to be removed from this article, I don't think there would remain anything notable or worth merging into the existing chemical articles. The article was created by a single-purpose account who may have an undisclosed COI. ChemNerd (talk) 13:47, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I Have found a source referring YXY however it is a short article and the only thing I could find.http://www.packagingeurope.com/Packaging-Europe-News/60592/Avantium-Appoints-Oskar-Slotboom-as-Chief-Commercial-Officer-.html Wrightie99 (talk) 13:59, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This seems more like an advertisement than an article. Much of it is about the specific company while the rest of the material is general chemical information that can be included in the existing WP articles on them. There's no significant independent coverage of this particular branding. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 19:51, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete The company is using Wikipedia as a place to advertise its product. What appear to be wikilinks in the article lead to Avantium's website. It's like a corporate brochure. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:09, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I thought it might be possible to reduce the article to its essence and then see what remains, but I gave up after the introduction. There is quite a bit already in WP on these compounds, and this article merely repeats that information. None of the sources that I could find were on YXY; they were all on the chemistry included in this and other articles. The company itself does not appear to warrant an article of its own.
