New article and just above the 1500 mark. Not sure if the Dominion Energy and 4C Offshore websites would be considered reliable by wiki standard. The former is the company directly involved in the project and the latter is a marketing and consultancy firm. If possible, please replace with alternative, reliable source. Ref 5 is a dead link anyway. Ref 7 seems to link to a registration or home page rather than a specific article and Ref 13 is likewise a link to a registration page. Once the sourcing/citation issues are resolved and qpq is done, nomination looks good to go. Al Ameer (talk) 03:20, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Note: the two sources I mentioned may be acceptable per Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Self-published and questionable sources as sources on themselves. If this is the case, then only the citations need to be fixed. Al Ameer (talk) 03:27, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Al Ameer son: Thanks for feedback. Have scoured the article, expanded a bit, and cleaned up referencing. Mind having another look? Djflem (talk) 12:24, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Djflem: Thanks for making those changes. Passing with the assumption that those two sources are a go. Al Ameer (talk) 05:15, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
