[edit] Listing names
To everyone contributing to this article,
Because this article describes a negative behavior, it will be difficult to list examples of empty vessel names with a neutral point of view. It may become problematic if two opposing parties disagreed on the "emptiness" of such names. So unless you know the whole story behind the naming of such name, and you can cite a source, it may be safe to refrain from listing such names. In fact, the reason I started this article was because I did not agree with the person that requested for this article that a certain company name was an empty vessel.
Also, please be aware that listing names may constitute libel and we want our Wikipedia to be far away as possible from litigation.

- How about Exxon, which was publicized as having been chosen to be an empty vessel? If this sounds good, I will try to dig up a reliable source. Also, would you care to identify the company suggested by the requester so that others might consider it?
[edit] May be we got it wrong
It's quite embarrassing to come back to an old article and find out that I was duped into writing such garbage - and to have it proliferated throughout the web by people who trust Wikipedia to be the Ultimate and the Final source in the world. A massive re-write after gathering better resources is necessary. -- Emana (talk) 16:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- I hereby give up on improving this page from its current state. If somebody else wants to tackle it, great. Otherwise, I have no arguments to its deletion. The subject will return when there is sufficient need for it in the future. -- Emana (Talk) 20:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
