The article PC Pitstop has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

• It doesn't matter if it's free software. The article is trying to promote its use, which we don't allow. See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:11, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
