• Delete as nominator.--John Lake 07:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as advertisement and failure to assert notability hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 07:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Notable? I think not Alphachimp ^talk
• Rewrite/ Cleanup/ General Improvement As author - I never intended this to be an advertisement, and I'm sorry that its being interpreted that way. However, I believe the boat could notable because it has functioned as a major attraction in the town of Dennis, MA for almost 20 years, bringing visitors into a town on the Cape that hasn't been a tourism center to begin with (unlike Hyannis, MA. ) Knowing Is Half The Battle 07:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non notable. If the boat is, as claimed, a major attraction in Dennis a mention may be merited on the town's article. Nuttah68 08:06, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. If this was a "major attraction" in Dennis, I would think there would be some mention of it on the town's Chamber of Commerce site which seems to list everything there is to do. Searched the site for Starfish...nothing. --Wine Guy Talk 23:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Reply to Wine Guy's Comment Actually, it is on the chamber website, go to this page http://www.dennischamber.com/index.php?module=pnBizDir&func=viewlinks&browse=0&sort=182 and its under Bass River Cruise and Howie's Kayaks Knowing Is Half The Battle 18:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for pointing that out. We now know that not only is the boat NN, but the article is an ad for "Bass River Cruise and Howie's Kayaks". --Wine Guy Talk 20:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
  • No, the article wasn't intended to be advertising, it was supposed to be informational, and the article has nothing to do with Howie's Kayaks. The two companies are run by the same person so they're listed together on the Chamber's website. What happened to assuming good faith? Knowing Is Half The Battle 16:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, KiHtB, what do you think of merging the article into Dennis? Icewolf34 16:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom non-noteable and advertising. Davidpdx 00:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Reply to Icewolf34's Comment I'd be perfectly fine merging into the Dennis, MA article whichever portion(s) of the article is/ are appropriate for it and deleting the rest. Knowing Is Half The Battle 04:09, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
