I previously nominated this article for speedy deletion as blatant advertising. Author responded by removing speedy tag, but, to be fair, got rid of all the obvious marketing phrases. However, the claims to notability are still very weak. I put a notability tag on but help off further action until the author had a chance to properly assert notabilty. Nothing has been done in the last two weeks. No hits on Google other than Wikipedia article. The only argument I can see in its defence is that the early ad-ridden version[1] there's a list of "BAAU accomplishments" which says all of the events were recorded in newspapers. That might just qualify as a claim to notability, but since it doesn't say which newspapers they were I can't comment any further. I'll leave this up to you lot.

• Delete. Can't find notability in gsearch or gnews search. Only hits are wiki/mirrors and the organization's own site.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:11, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Per Fabrictramp. Article does nothing to assert notability. MvjsTalking 09:40, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
