This article was created and largely contributed to by the owner of the website the article is about (Username on early contributions is identical to full name of website creator). It also seems non-notable, having little to no recent mainstream news coverage that I can find, and a large chunk of it's sources are links to shellnews.net, which according to this revision, is a website that is directly associated with the subject of this article. As far as I can tell this article was fully created to be an advertisement. thattransgirl (talk) (she/her) 13:32, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Royal Dutch Shell. It is widely cited, but there is next to no discussion of the source itself I can find. It seems parts of our article have been reverse copyviod by [1] (2010 book, content in our article dates to 2009 [2])... A bit of digging found few paragraphs in this book: [3], the publisher is reliable (CRC Press). But that's all I was able to find. I suggest merging a summery to Royal Dutch Shell and softdeleting the entry per WP:PRESERVE. Ping me if better sources are found and I'll be happy to review my vote. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:45, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In a prominent position on the royaldutchshellplc.com website there is a feature "Links to mass media coverage of our Shell websites". It provides access to numerous articles by the FT, Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Dow Jones Newswires etc containing references to the website. Also numerous published books. Please forgive my lack of expertise in adding this information which might assist in deliberations. It is not my intention to add any further information to Wikipedia.

Merge and redirect to Royal Dutch Shell as not sufficiently notable for a discrete article. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 09:56, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
