Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sea Research Society

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. The gist of the discussion seems to favor keeping one merged article, but with only two participants after multiple relists, it is hard to declare that a consensus. No prejudice against going through with a merge if the interested parties want to do that – no endorsement from AfD is required. RL0919 (talk) 20:00, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Sea Research Society for sure. Leaning toward !merge for College of Marine Arts. @Onegreatjoke: Keep in mind that if an organization has a long history, you can't expect to find everything through basic Google searches. This organization goes back to 1972, so by definition you need to check books and other databases for more information. (Not sure what it takes to get Wikipedia Library access these days but something to work toward for sure.) Anyway I'll keep working on it, but Sea Research Society is both notable and fixable in my book. Cielquiparle (talk) 15:16, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Alright, well I didn't find sources for sea research society but I guess I didn't search hard enough then. Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:22, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  It's an interesting story with an article that was in terrible shape, so when all is said and done, it should result in a positive outcome. And you're probably right about College of Marine Arts, but it probably makes sense to have it point to Sea Research Society. Cielquiparle (talk) 15:29, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• To clarify, for this two-part AfD nomination, I am proposing:

• Keep Sea Research Society
• Redirect College of Marine Arts to Sea Research Society
