A tag has been placed on Cruise ship pollution, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

This article has parts written like an advertisement and carries no sources to prove notability.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

 * Anyway, to respond to what you asked on my user pages, there are several things that are wrong with the article. First of all, a large portion of it is directly copied from another website, which is a copyright violation. Second, it has no sources. Everything on Wikipedia must be verifiable, which means it must be cited with a reliable source. Third, certain parts of it sound like an advertisement for a pollution cleaning product. Wikipedia prohibits any kind of promotional articles. Fourth, it reads a lot like an essay, with conclusions about how horrible certain things are and how readers need to take action and so forth. Personal essays are strictly prohibited by the rules about what Wikipedia is not. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 06:55, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
