So, an article was tagged for speedy which said, in its entirety,
"RoboGEO is a program to synchronize a GPS tracklog with a collection
of time-coded pictures. A demo is available for download on the
Internet. It intentionally adds errors of around a kilometer into the
data."

It was created by an account "Iwanttocreateanarticle", whose
contributions to that date were precisely nothing other than this
article.  Since creating RoboGeo, that editor has added a new
category, Category:Demoware, which currently has one article
(RoboGeo), and added links to RoboGeo in [[TopoFusion]], [[Google
Earth]] and [[Geocoded photo]].  There are some evil-hearted bastards
who would call that a single-purpose account.

It's certainly not especially surprising that someone was a bit
suspicious, is it?  And frankly if the article *had* been speedied and
then re-created as it is now, with sources, it would not have been
speedied again. As it is, *it was never deleted*.

I think we should be very wary of inferring anything from the tagging
(and non-deletion) of this article.
