Delete. Pretty trivial as a stand-alone encyclopedia entry. This tidbit might be able to find a home in other articles (can't think of one off-hand). --Quartermaster (talk) 21:35, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as Wikipedia is not the news. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 08:36, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete article is short no exclamation of notability--Lerdthenerd (talk) 08:38, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Atlantis, The Palm. While it might not be enough for a separate article, a Google search on "sammy shark atlantis" provided links from several news websites like ABC news, BBC, and Seattle Times, as well as a lot of other internet chatter, so I think it has some notability. --Julie22193 (talk) 17:07, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Julie22193. Seems like a sensible alternative to deletion. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:23, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Julie22193. Looking over the history, it appears that one of the reasons that the article was created independently was that some editors seem to want to avoid anything that reflects negatively on Atlantis, The Palm. [1] and [2] are examples of this. Nobody "owns" a Wikipedia article, and I'm not sure where else this information would be placed. Mandsford 01:28, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
