The result was merge to OIL (incorporations and corporate services). The consensus here seems to be for a selective merge, i.e. don't just dump the whole Offshore 2020 article into the target, but cherry pick the well-sourced and most relevant information (and leave a redirect behind). -- RoySmith (talk) 16:40, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This publication certainly isn't notable enough for its own article. And I don't think any of the information is relevant or well-sourced enough for a merge to make sense. It seems to me that the best option is to delete this article and just put a mention in the OIL (incorporations and corporate services) page that they have a publication called Offshore 2020.

• Selective Merge to OIL (incorporations and corporate services), which presently does not mention this market research other than a link in its See also section. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:47, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Soft Keep. Disclosure: In my real life I am one of the regular participants in this market research (and scheduled to do it again this year). The article as written is not great, but the Offshore 2020 publication does have unusual value in that it is one of the very few publicly available sources which shines a light under the hood in terms of the normally pretty opaque world of offshore finance. That probably tips it to a 'keep' for me, but appreciate because I am in the industry it probably appears more interesting to me than to lay people. --Legis (talk - contribs) 13:26, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
