This article was created by a user who appears to be the author of three of the sources cited. It also cites an article in the Houston Chronicle from 1969 which I cannot find/access, but even with that, I do not think that this was a sufficiently important event to merit having an article here.

Delete This is interesting stuff, and if there's an article where parts of it could be merged to that would be better; but I couldn't say where that would be...? Doesn't work as a standalone though. Note that the author of the article is not only the author of all the sourcing except for the lone newspaper article, but also the guy who built the camera (see paragraph 5). This is a pretty stringent one-man operation. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:13, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be open to changing your vote to merge? This would fit very nicely in a new section under Tenneco since the first civilian recording was performed on one of their storage units.DavidDelaune (talk) 07:28, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure if this should stay or go, but seeing as most submarine tech is military, it is a drastic omission that this is only the first civilian recording, not the first recording period. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trevey-On-Sea (talk • contribs) 21:28, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge This is absolutely encyclopedic material! This should be merged into the Tenneco page since the first video recording was associated with the Molly Brown.DavidDelaune (talk) 07:28, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not against merging this somewhere, but I don't see how it would work at Tenneco. 95% company fiscal history, then one anecdote about a submarine video tangentially related to one of their properties...? --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:22, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually there's underwater videography. That might be a better target. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:26, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's a great idea. Both of these articles need some help and merging them together would make a much better article.DavidDelaune (talk) 13:32, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Likely conflict of interest, but DavidDelaune has listed a good idea. Merge. Foxnpichu (talk) 10:56, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
