 * Delete. No context, no data, no information.  What in blazes is this?  Please, somebody provide more data and at least some context.  Is this for real? -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 03:21, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, mainly it's a copy/paste of this site. Interesting blog. Now we can Delete this as a copyvio. It's at most Wikinews anyway.  Citi Cat  04:29, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. Neutral for now. See The Ooze, a current New York magazine article about the 1940s oil spill (arguably augmented by a century of industrial chemical dumping) underneath Greenpoint. The article mentions cancers in the area that some believe are connected. This particular spill -- I'm not sure how much they're saying it's a separate spill and how much they're connecting it to the Greenpoint spill. It's a poorly written, POV article with atrocious sources. --Dhartung | Talk 04:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete lacks context, and thinly disguised copyvio of this article. Both speediable offenses. Ohconfucius 06:23, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
