Doubtful notability. POV article created by an editor blocked for POV editing John from Idegon (talk) 19:55, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Most of the "references" cited do not appear to even mention the subject of the article; they only appear to be tangentially related. No !vote yet, but this might actually be a WP:COATRACK on the hunting of marine species. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:01, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fixable This is a copy of the program site, which is Public Domain as a US government site. But it still was written in the promotional manner of any web site for any program or organization. I think it can be rewritten, and the program is sufficiently notable for the purpose. As its resultsare used in enforcement, there should be sources. DGG ( talk ) 22:59, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep-someone can fix this easily as said above, nothing wrong with having this page though. Wgolf (talk) 23:06, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Marine forensics. Maybe it can be fixed (although I can find little aside from the program's own home page), but a merged article would cover the subject better. NOAA has two forensics programs, the other being in the Northwest Fisheries Science Center, and much that can be said of one can be said of both. At the same time, Marine forensics is in poor shape and the material from this page would help a lot. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:27, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
