Fleshlight and its representatives have contacted us, asking that they have sole discretion over the content of the page, because any edits could ruin its advertising value. This is a non-notable product. The page was created solely for promotional purposes. It is now gone. Danny
Not at all. The only way they can ensure that the "advertising value" of "their" article is not diluted is to delete it, what with this being a wiki and covered by GFDL. Danny did the only thing which could possibly achieve their stated aim within policy.
So, that leaves open the possibility of someone else creating the page?
Nope. Fleshlight demand editorial control. We can't give them that. The only way we can prevent their "advertising value" from being ruined is by not carrying it.
I was going to include a comment along the lines of us making a better fist of it than them, but thought better of it...
