Advertising, created by a user with WP:COI issues, it may be a copyvio, as well. My speedy tag was removed. Corvus cornix 01:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep if rewritten If kept, it needs massive cleanup, more or less a complete rewrite. That said, a Google News archive search did come up with what look to be reliable sources. This page has a list of a number of what look like potential good sources toward the bottom from worldwide press sources including the Atlantic Monthly. And on Google Books, I found this, among others. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, written about in some depth by John McPhee. Basically this is the only substantial training facility in the world using "manned models" for supertanker pilots. It's essentially a private school with a very narrow clientele, and they offer a professional certification vetted by the IMO, which is certainly on the level as any other accreditation. --Dhartung | Talk 09:43, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep This page should not be deleted as Port Revel is the inventor of a unique concept that is still in use and widely accepted in the maritime industry. I am not trying to advert anything as we are the inventor of this special kind of training (back in 1967) and I believe this has encyclopedical value as such. However, I confess few people have published on this subject. Please note that there is no copyright problem because I am the author of the information provided on our web site: http://www.portrevel.com/anglais/htm/fr_01/fr_edito.htm. This is our own web site and I am the director of the training centre using this technology since 40 years. I am not trying to publish new scientific knowledge, as this technology is based on the one century-old law of Froude (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froude_number). This technology is used since 40 years. Please read the improved page. Artreve 14:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per the above. Note. I have chopped out all the maths. This was already duplicated in Similitude of ship models by the same author. That article currently has a prod on it but all it needs is for Artreve to pull a finger out and provide a few references. -- RHaworth 20:25, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
