Delete, Looking through google found a lot of business profiles but not a lot in reliable sources. In my opinion this is a borderline spam article on a family business. 4 generations is very impressive aside from the above comments though Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:26, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep -- This is a history of a family shipping company. It needs wikifying and other work, but it is nevertheless a substantial historical article. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:06, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as copyvio of this webpage. No prejudice against a non-copyvio article being created. Mjroots (talk) 13:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted material suitably deleted. No longer a "substantial article" however. - Jarry1250 ^{[ In the UK? Sign the petition! ]} 14:59, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Now that the copyvio and spam issues have been sorted out, what we have left is ~~an article~~ a stub about a notable shipping company. Plenty of sources in Google News. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sourcing under the google searches (news, books, scholar) is abundant, and even if almost all are incidental mentions, the quantity suggests that this company's been around for a long time. Ray^Talk 14:48, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
