- Keep I concur that SailingInABathTub's sources provide significant coverage of the subject (and, for the record,
This article has no citation [sic]
andHas no significant contribution [sic]
were never true). Article is somewhat of a mess but needs to be rewritten, not deleted. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:54, 5 October 2022 (UTC) - Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Business, Engineering, Environment, and Technology.

- Keep - The article needs improvement certainly, but all of the issues with the article are easily surmountable problems. The article's subject appears notable and meets WP:GNG by way of the sources that were already in the article, and though all but one are in the external links section, they are all still valid sources. I don't know what
all the reference links are pointing to archive web
means, but if that means that all the links are dead and the only way to view them is through archived links, then that's not accurate but also that's not a reason to delete an article; sources accessible through something like archive.org are just as valid as a live source in terms of verifying information. So just the sources in the article already show notability, when you add SailingInABathTub's sources above to the mix it's an easy yes as far as notability. - Aoidh (talk) 17:22, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
