 * I improved the new page by adding important content and some references. Squirl1 (talk) 21:58, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @Fram I am sorry, OK, at first I thought I'd make a small start and let other wiki users continue editing, I've now understood that when I create a new page I bring everything so far that it's sufficient for publication. Right after making the page there were already a few old (don't know how many years) wiki links (in red) from the list of diver certification organizations page (note the short text here: ...the article lists notable underwater diver certification agencies .... .) to ProTec with the message 'Page does not exist'. So I was sure it was ok to build the page. Also there are a lot (I guess more than 10) wiki diving info pages related to such agencies or specialized agencies (e.g. cave diving) which also have a wiki link to this ProTec page. Of course, some I edited. There are a few more to come, but I have to research the content first, that's a lot of work. Also, I've now added a lot more important content and some good references as well. Since this ProTec has been around for a long time, many of them are not online but on paper. This is very difficult to get. But I keep searching. You also see, I do not use advertising links, FB, .... just one time mention the official homepage which should be Ok. So, I kindly ask you, please remove the tag, thank you very much. Squirl1 (talk) 14:04, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @Fram ..ops sorry, this might be confusing. I wrote ..specialized agencies (e.g. cave diving)  but I meant it in general. Especially cave diving page have no agencies listed, better take other like Solo diving. Squirl1 (talk) 14:11, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @Fram  Deleted the WP:PROD tag because:  It is (now) notable, this pagename is listet at many Wiki pages with ref/links to this page (former red, msg page does not exists). Among this, since years, this pagename is listet at the article lists of 'notable underwater diver certification agencies' .  I improved the (before PROD tag) very short content a lot, now have essential content (still further impriving). Added many relations/wiki links to content as well as ext. references. Of course, will keep on improving. Suggestions are very welcome. Squirl1 (talk) 14:11, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
