Gathering seafood by hand

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The article appears a combination of original research and lacking inline citations, except for its historical statement (which is also included and identically sourced at Fishing techniques). The title is phrased like a sentence, and is not used in its sources, making me believe a page move is necessary even if not deleted, but I don't know what the moved name would be. While particular types of hand gathering have their own articles which are listed at Fishing techniques, it is not clear if the umbrella topic of hand gathering seafood specifically is a notable grouping justifying its own article. If there were reliable sources reviewing the history of all or many hand fishing techniques together historically, then maybe this topic would be notable, but I cannot find such sources by a handful of google scholar searches. It is possible that sources for such a review may exist but are not easily accessible online.

My current recommendation is to blank and redirect to Fishing techniques as this section already covers the sourced historical statement and links in summary style to types of hand-gathering. There seems no other content to salvage and the proposed redirect would better organise the information in its existing summary style. Since this is possibly a controversial move and the talk page is inactive, I believe AfD is the most appropriate forum for establishing consensus first.

 * Delete - clearly is a thing but the page is not encyclopedic and the concepts are better covered elsewhere. JMWt (talk)
 * Delete: Already covered in other articles and appears to be (a rather short) essay. Oaktree b (talk) 14:33, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: agreed with nominator and prior !voters in all respects, particularly blanking and adding any remaining content to Fishing techniques. I've had this on my "I'll do an AFD on this someday" list for a while. Thanks. -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  22:35, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Redir to Fishing techniques -- There is no independent notability that makes this a separate, encyclopaedic subject. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 19:22, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
