I have some serious problems with all of this.
The article was created in 2004, and its first version was obviously not advertising. It had three AfDs deciding to keep it.
I recognize that the company's demand of editorial control absolutely cannot be met. But I am gravely concerned that the Foundation Office's response to such a demand is to delete the page outright and salt the earth. Whether we keep an article or not should not be based on whether the article's subject has been a problem for us. The community has repeatedly indicated a desire to keep [[Fleshlight]], and the claim that the page was created for promotional purposes is demonstrably untrue. For the Office to unilaterally delete it marks an unfortunate and dangerous turning point in the relationship between the Office and the community.

I agree.
Will we have to delete Coca Cola etc if they start "demanding" editorial control?
Could we have some further clarification on this please?
