No sources cited that indicate its existence. I'm unable to find a mention of this "submersible research centre in the Atlantic Ocean, some 500 km west of England in international waters, where it is meant to be permanently stationed." TheGGoose (talk) 20:16, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

• Delete: as unsourced stub -- likely hoax. Quis separabit? 20:19, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
• Comment I labeled this article as a place while picking an AFD category (P - Places and transportation), but the article's categories say this is a submarine (transportation?). Can the discussion's category get changed? TheGGoose (talk) 20:39, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
• Delete. Appears to be a hoax. No references exist outside this article and mirrors. A few other thoughts:
  • England is not a single point; 500 km west of many locations in England would be in Ireland, and an actual research station would likely specify coordinates or at least a distance from a specific location such as Plymouth, Swansea or Cork.
  • The naming of a "submersible research centre" after a saint in an otherwise uninhabited (undersea) location seems unlikely.
  • The use of wind turbines in a "submersible research centre" seems even more unlikely, as does a land reclamation project in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean rather than along a coastline. Calamondin12 (talk) 17:46, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
• Delete as you would think someone would've edited the article again but no, and my searches found absolutely nothing. I'm not all familiar with ocean research centre in the Atlantic Ocean but you would've found something even if primary and such. SwisterTwister talk 19:34, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
