Open Blue Sea Farms
It's not obvious from the content that this company has yet sold any fish. It reads as a nice marketing piece. Is there any coverage at all in independent media beyond a series of press releases?  Acroterion  (talk)  01:24, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Substantial portions of the text appear to have been taken directly from the (copyrighted) Open Blue website. This organization has received coverage in the media, which is exactly what is desired by Wikipedia notability standards. Why are there no references to these reports, rather than self-referential sources? See WP:RS and WP:CORP.   Acroterion  (talk)  03:16, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Open Blue Sea Farms


A tag has been placed on Open Blue Sea Farms requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:50, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
