Actually, I haven't been too closely involved in previous deletion debates but my main motivation right now is that it's nonsensical to split up a biography and spread it out over four different articles, then redirect to just one of them. Someone looking for information about Daniel Brandt will wind up getting information about NameBase, as if that were all there was to him, with the rest of the stuff hidden away in non-obvious places. Normally a disambiguation page would be used when splitting up an article but that doesn't really make sense here either.
It would be better to have one article on Public Information Research and include information about the various projects in that. I've written a draft, and I'm going to ask the closing admin if he has any objection to doing it that way rather than having four articles. Then all other titles can redirect to PIR.
