outdated project causes confusion for live site

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. search keyword "waslu" in Google Search
2. the 3rd result is a very outdated link to a prototype project named "waslu" 
from 2013:
https://code.google.com/p/waslu/
3. this link causes confusion for user who are searching for the live site 
waslu.com (first result) which launched in 2015. 
4. the project content in this Google Code link contains misrepresentations of 
"waslu" ("waslu is small google +") and typos ("Store personnel memories")

Could we please close this outdated project, in order to resolve the confusion 
users encounter when searching for "waslu"?

Thank you,
Waslu.com Webmaster

While I agree that having an apparently long-since abandoned open-source 
project appearing in your search results isn't idea, I cannot arbitrarily 
delete people's Google Code projects.

However, I believe you have two options:

First, if you contact me at "chrsmith at google.com" I can give you the contact 
information for the project's owner. If they are OK with the project being 
deleted, then I'm happy to remove it for you both.

Second, if the waslu project is legitimately interfering with any copyrights, 
etc. you can submit a lawful DMCA takedown notice using this form: 
https://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905?hl=en. When prompted 
for which Google product the request relates to, select "Other Projects" and 
then "Code". Of course, IANAL and a DMCA takedown notice may not apply.

Ultimately the fact that the open-source project doesn't receive any traffic 
(and is read-only since Google Code is soon to be shut down), the active 
"waslu" should stay in the top of organic results. And as your website grows, 
fresher results should push down the Google Code project.

Hope that helps!
