This article was almost certainly written by the founder of the group. I have removed the self-sourced content and one press release, and that leaves no sources. I went Googling for more but every single one fails the Marsh test for churnalism. Guy (Help!) 12:10, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - this article has no references, and the only external link is to the group's own website. It might be worth resuscitating if some one can find more information and more references for the group. Vorbee (talk) 16:58, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect: Most/all of the sources relating to the BLS seem to revolve around conferences attended and speeches given by Marios Kyriazis, who already has his own Wikipedia page. I suspect the BLS is just a vessel for Kyriazis. I'm also unsure if Mazkyri, who created both the BLS page and the Kyriazis page, has a WP:COI and is Kyriazis himself. This was implied by an IP address: see this revision to the Kyriazis page. The Kyriazis page might not survive an AfD itself. In the meanwhile, though, the BLS page and the Kyriazis page ought to be merged, and the BLS page redirected to the Kyriazis page. MB190417 (talk) 12:24, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Otherwise, judging by the contributions of the article's creator, we should merge and redirect to a great big Wikipedia 'the Kyriazis Family' series, featuring Neoklis Kyriazis, Marios Kyriazis, Kyriazi Freres and Damianos Kyriazis. MB190417 (talk) 12:41, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Having recently edited Marios Kyriazis to remove blatant hot air, I don't think there is much to merge with or redirect to, and now support deletion.
