Nonnotable local ferry company, article reads like a press release. No sources cited; prod tag removed without adding sources. NawlinWiki (talk) 00:10, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Weak keep with an admitted local bias. =) (BTW, point of correction: they aren't a ferry company, as such, they mostly do tourist cruise work around the Puget Sound and the connected lakes, leaving the vast majority of the ferry work to Washington State Ferries.) In any event, as much as WP:ILIKEIT and the WP:LOCAL notability may be an issue, I'm going to stick a {{tl|rescue}} tag on the article, as they're pretty well known around these parts in the Seattle metro area. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:04, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment. The article is essentially a slightly reworded copy of the following press release: [http://www.argosycruises.com/download/pressroom/History2009.pdf]. E.g., see [http://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=%22In+the+summers+of+1997+and+1998%2C+Argosy+joined+with+local%2C+regional+and+state+government+agencies], [http://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=%2275+year+round+employees+and+seasonal+employment], [http://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=%22Captain+Lynn+Campbell+founded+the+Spring+Street+Water+Taxi+Company]. — Rankiri (talk) 16:26, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Aw, crap. Speedy G12 and start over, then? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 17:09, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
