[edit] BETDAQ

This article was previously deleted on February 9, 2006, pursuant to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BETDAQ. This current version appears to avoid some of the problems of the deleted version (the nominator of that discussion believed it to be spam and advertisement), but notability is still questionable. I think it's close, but it's on the side of deletion, particularly in light of prior history and the probability that the article was created with the intention of reinstating the advertisement. Weak delete. --Nlu (talk) 06:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Second largest betting exchange in UK with significant turnover and impact on market. Agree article needs work to position its noteworthiness though. Sjc 10:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Both attempts to begin the article were probably intended as advertisments. (In the article as originally created, the number of external links threatened to outweight the actual article prose.) It isn't an advertisment now, however. It should be clear from the further reading and references section of the article that the primary WP:CORP criterion is satisfied. Keep.
