This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was keep as redirect. Despite the large number of votes to delete, I am exercising my discretion as the closer of this discussion. The redirect is consistent with the VfD decision on QuakeAID above. Since the two companies are closely linked, I consider this a much better outcome. It directs readers to a fact-based page about a suspicious entity. I strongly believe that, had the other voters returned to this discussion thread after the changes to the QuakeAID article and after seeing that this article was redirected to it, they would have amended their votes.

      • Curiously, why does this get treatment different from the other four self-promotional contributions by User:Baoutrust? GRider\talk 23:30, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
        • I wondered too, who put the "speedy" tag onto Baou_Trust page? Is there any way to trace this? --Godric 08:25, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • NOTE: The page Baou_Trust now redirects to QuakeAID due to the new facts unearthed about QuakeAID and its parent and sibling companies. Please reconsider the votes casted. --Godric 22:50, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to QuakeAID (was keep) - All the sister pages (QuakeAID, OfficialWire, excluding Kaith) now weave together into a clearer picture of reality. --Godric 22:50, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
