Discussion[edit]

Wait - how can this be scheduled for deletion? Wikipedia is a valuable resource for historical knowledge. I recommend this article be PRESERVED forever, considering the importance of the event (an exploratory rig sinking)! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.117.107.224 (talk) 19:29, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see what is the issue which leads to the deletion of this article. The article is about recent events and needs careful verification and review, but at this moment there is no apparent controversy. If it stays factual, I recomend keeping it. --Szymon (talk) 13:22, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete - I think that this is a valuable factual article and should be kept. (andyminicooper (talk) 21:54, 20 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Do not delete! Accidental sinking of a drilling platform is a serious accident, and not less serious occurring in calm weather with no loss of lives, (unlike Ocean Ranger) This article is correct, and we are still waiting for an official accident report. The relevant companies and authorities should be provoked to publish a report on the accident, which should be fairly simple in this case. Ivar Fylling (talk) 14:56, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
