This article is a promotional piece written through a paid editing request from this posting on elance dot com. The seller, "bomond", posted the following request: "Looking for an experienced wikipedia editor to create and submit several short articles on a local public figure and couple companies." Three days earlier he posted another request to elance for a "Redesign of vashe.com / chicagorussianradio.com" [1]. This article links to bomond dot com as well as vashe dot com and chicagorussianradio dot com, so this is clearly the article that was created through the elance posting. Our spam guidelines and policy that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for promotion apply here, as well as our general notability guideline, as it appears that the subject hasn't received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources.

- Delete It is conceivable that he might actually be notable, but whomever he paid for the job obviously does not know how to show it. Perhaps some uninvolved person will start over. Given the history, I am not planning to rescue it myself when there are articles entered in good faith that need the help. . ` DGG ( talk ) 20:43, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
