Delete: No WP:SIGCOV present. Sources i found on GNEWS were mostly passing mentions. Jamiebuba (talk) 09:05, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Searches across Wikipedia Library (using the cross-database search function which is handy) and ProQuest generate well over a hundred results, even after discounting all the journal articles that were likely published by the Historical Diving Society itself. This is going to take a long time to sort through. I wouldn't rush to suggest that coverage doesn't exist. (But yes, the current state of the article is not good.)
