Dubious sources seem to mask an advert for a product. Listing ticket prices is a clear indication of a lack of notability. Harr o 5 09:50, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete (G11) — blatant advertising/spam. MuZemike (talk) 17:55, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * KeepThree newspaper references,including the Chicago Sun Times are not "dubious," are reliable and independent, and have substantial coverage of the subject, satisfying WP:N. A historic reenactment of pioneer canalboat travel. If the article sounds spammy, you have my permission (which you do not need) to edit it, since Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit.

 * KeepThis article was never intended to be an advertisement. The article has been edited so it no longer appears this way. Is there still something specific that needs to be edited that I am overlooking? Photos coming soon.Braddaman1 (talk) 09:45, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I removed the deletion tag when I first edited the article. I did not know I was not supposed to remove it. I figured since I edited the article, it no longer meet criteria to be deleted.  I did not purposely remove the tag the second time.  If I did so it was on accident while editing the article.  I asked you to be specific if something needs to be changed so I could do the proper editing.  I don't understand what is wrong with the article now.   I have concerns now that this article is being arbitrarily marked for deletion.  This is my first article, here is your chance to be helpful instead of critical.

 * Keep per Edison2; article is not spammy in its current state. It should, however, be renamed Volunteer (canal boat) per Naming conventions (ships). --Fullobeans (talk) 00:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Article is sourced and renamed correctly. Pity this editors first effort resulted in him being threatened with banning instead of helping him out. --Brad (talk) 01:08, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
