• Delete, both for the reasons given above by Dan arndt and because the article is substantially promotional. JBW (talk) 15:15, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note:The page was created by an IP editor as a talk page, to get round the requirement for autoconfirmed status to create an article, and it was then moved to mainspace by Dan arndt. It might have been speedily deleted from talk page space, but now that it's subject to this discussion it's probably better to leave it where it is and let the discussion run its course.

Comment @JBW: thanks - I'm fairly certain that this article was previously deleted via a PROD earlier in the year - which is why it was on my watchlist. As a result I thought that an AfD was more appropriate as if the article is deleted via that process and then subsequently re-created it could potentially be dealt with as speedy delete - G4.
