Significant reliable sources are not available to pass notability for a page. Created by SPA probably UDP. Joanrivers (talk) 05:56, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NCORP. I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content. userdude 06:25, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
 * It appears that the article was rewritten and retitled from an article on Luženičky, a Czech village. This was done by User:Wrenvek, a single purpose account. I support restoring the content from Special:Diff/782621746, moving the article to Luženičky, deleting the page with prejudice, and blocking User:Wrenvek per WP:NOTHERE. userdude 06:32, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
 * To clarify, by this I mean I support salting. While the article has not been recreated, the fact that the User:Wrenvek bypassed NPP by moving an existing unrelated article suggests that they are an experienced bad-faith user. Additionally—this is speculation—based on the description as an invitation-only, subscription-based Cruise Membership Club and that the company would stoop so low as to blatantly and purposely violate Wikipedia guidelines, I suspect this is some sort of lottery scam that used its Wikipedia page to deceive victims. userdude 04:01, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Supporting my suspicion of InCruises, the Spanish Wikipedia article es:InCruises (moved to es:Usuario:JhonnyAlvarez/Taller) describes the company as a direct selling company. userdude 19:39, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Agree that previous version needs to be restored which was about a location. TolWol56 (talk) 00:43, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. The only significant statement in the article is "In 2015, the company became the premier cruise membership club with members and partners in over 178 countries", cited to Yahoo Finance. Not enough for WP:N. Mercy11 (talk) 03:14, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The author of the Yahoo Finance article is listed as PR Newswire, meaning the content is most likely a press release—thus, cannot be used for WP:N. userdude 04:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete The references are all based on company announcements or inclusion in listings. I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 17:26, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
