The article references a project proposal from 2012. I can find no evidence that it was carried out. The original source was a primary source, and the website that contained it is now gone. Nutiketaiel (talk) 14:12, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - In 2010 Victor Moffitt ran unsuccessfully for governor of RI. This idea of a giant aquarium was his platform. A couple years later he said he was going to do it anyway. Looks like he registered a non-profit, but I can find nothing whatsoever in terms of sources since then. Even if there were more sources, all we have is "guy said he wanted to build an aquarium in Rhode Island". If it gets off the ground, it'll probably be notable at some point, but most definitely is not now. Here are the sources I do see, all of which are brief mentions or very local sources: Patch, Washington Examiner, WPRI, GCPVD, RIPR, Golocal. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 02:59, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
