[edit] Oceanfill

Delete. neologism --IByte 00:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

I just noticed it might also be redundant with marine pollution, but if it does turn out people want to keep this term (I'd say delete it), how about redirecting (I'm not in favour of keeping/merging the current content as it is borderline POV.) --IByte 21:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, pending cleanup. - Che Nuevara, the Democratic Revolutionary 00:47, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete. I like the word, and I actually hope it catches on, but Wikipedia is not the place to promote new concepts. At 23 Google hits, this one is not yet notable for inclusion. Johntex 01:37, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unless this can be cleaned up dramatically. Jaxl | talk 02:19, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, neologism. Zoe 08:03, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, neologism. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:00, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete If it catches on, we can have it later. Alf 09:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I see potential for improving the article with details of where the problem manifests itself and how it can be sorted out. (Previous unsigned vote by 212.17.46.2 (talk · contribs))
• Redirect to marine pollution. Gazpacho 21:47, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to marine pollution, as above. GeeJo _{(t) (c)} 02:16, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Please don't start a precedent of redirecting nonexistant neologisms. This would give them Google hits and indicate that Wikipedia believes they are real words. Zoe 05:21, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
    • Agreed. Redirect should not become the new weak delete (I wish I never suggested the similar article). --IByte 16:10, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
