Proposed deletion of Smelt dipping


The article Smelt dipping has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unremarkable article about a sport

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

 * I've removed the deletion tag - dipping in general should have an article, as I'm familiar with it from the herring runs on the rivers of the Mid-Atlantic. Do you have any refeences?  Acroterion  (talk)  18:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
