No evidence of notability - one ref is about it being bought and the other is about the company that bought it. Pity this didn't go via AFC.

It did get some coverage.[https://venturebeat.com/2012/09/13/locaid-launches-internet-and-mobile-location-tracking-service/][https://www.technologyreview.com/s/426324/startup-turns-your-cell-phone-number-into-a-location-fix/][http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/02/05/website-can-find-with-your-phone-number.html] But it might be better to merge or redirect to its purchaser LocationSmart. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:57, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

::A merge wouldn't do much besides insert those refs you have found into LocationSmart, which wouldn't hurt; and a redirect would also seem sensible. Pinkbeast (talk) 16:07, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Delete The content and references about its acquisition are not sufficient to support a distinct article. The former company's products did get some start-up coverage but I am not seeing substantial coverage of the Locaid company as would be required to meet :WP:CORPDEPTH. (Reverting to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Locaid&oldid=790581125 this version] so that it redirects to its acquirer :LocationSmart could be an option.)

Delete/Redirect to LocationSmart. No case for a stand-alone article. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:40, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Delete -- fails WP:CORPDEPTH for lack of significant coverage. A redirect is unnecessary as the target article does not look to be notable itself, and the term is unlikely to be a valid search term. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:04, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

::Why isn't it a "valid search term"? It's the name of a corporation, an obscure one to be sure, but it's not impossible it could be searched for. The target appears to be notable: nobody has nominated it for deletion or tagged it, and you offer no reason why it is non-notable, so a redirect is reasonable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:30, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Redirect To LocationSmart. Valid search term. L3X1 (distænt write) 02:02, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
