Was speedy-deleted {{db-corp}}, but Oceanic is an important scuba gear makers. And they developed several models of modern
rebreather, and the
Data Mask, which is an eyes-and-nose
diving mask with a built-in
LED display which displays various dive and breathing set conditions. It is noteworthy to scuba divers.

Weak Delete was speedy deleted over a year ago according to the logs. Was there a deletion review to bring it back? The article at the moment looks like an advert. It contains no reliable 3rd party sources. The "data mask" mentioned appears to be a single product as opposed to an innovation in dive technology (at least according to the google search I did - "data mask" diving).

but "The Data Mask" is a product and is being advertised as such in the article. And you still aren't addressing the resurrection of the article or what makes the company notable and reliably sourced to 3rd parties.

They seem to have been fairly important in the history of modern
rebreathers including US Navy naval rebreathers. Frogman's rebreathers and the men that use them in action are at least as relevant to the world as any one of the thousands of minor popular music musicians and their songs and albums that clutter Wikipedia.

OK, OK, I have evacuated the Data Mask info to
Diving mask and the rebreather info to
Rebreather. But I thought that one of USA's big scuba gear suppliers deserved some brief mention, if only to satisfy people who come across the name Oceanic in conection with scuba gear and look in Wikipedia to find who or what the name refers to.

Weak Keep - This could be expanded. The stuff on rebreathers for the military could well be notable also this bit about mask with built in display sounds notable if it were one of the first to be developed for sport dive market. (also, I've made some edits to make it less like an advert)

Comment have changed to a Weak Delete based on the recent changes by
Anthony Appleyard and the comments by
User:Nk.sheridan. I'm still worried about the very short supply of 3rd party reliable sources showing the company as notable and some of the language. If the article was expanded using reliable 3rd party sourcing and the issue of its resurrection could be addressed I may swing more towards keep.
