 * Comment. Article is about a Norwegian yacht that sails around the Arctic. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:42, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The expedition was covered at least once by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation and Aftenposten (video and article entirely about it), in addition to a local TV channel in Norway, was heavily covered by one Norwegian sailing magazine (there's a sub-site including a complete blog of the expedition in Norwegian and a blog in English that stops at the end of the first season) and the subject of at least one article in another Norwegian sailing mag and an English-language sailing mag. I've rewritten the article and added references. There is likely some additional info about the RX II herself - one article calls her "famous" - which I haven't yet found (things like Mazda cars cause search interference and the Norwegian search engine Kvasir seems to have tweaked its time period definition controls to make things harder for technical fumblers like me) - but there was definitely enough coverage of the expedition in reliable sources to satisfy the general notability criterion and I can't think of a better title for the article.
