It seams like this concept does not have enough coverage to prove its notability. Anyway, the article is 90% about five animal species which already have articles about them. There is no need for separate article on this topic. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:32, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

The term "Marine Big 5" is quickly becoming a recognized term for the gathered goup of these 5 species of marine animals found in Gansbaai. It doesn't have anything to do with the company that "coined" the term, but rather the attraction that this unique congregation of animals provide. We are simply trying to spread the word about these animals that together form this unit, like African Big 5.GB Explore (talk) 10:20, 5 December 2013 (UTC) 
 * Delete. In addition to looking a lot like advertisement for the travel company that coined the phrase, the article describes a neologism and fails to cite sources independent of the local tourist industry. Cnilep (talk) 00:32, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete It's mentioned in a few touristy websites, but there's not coverage in reliable authoritative sources, and it's only of limited local use in one particular town (the article mentions it's a "patented" term - does this mean it's a trade mark?). If proper references can be found it might be mentioned in Gansbaai as a local tourist attraction. But this is not currently a notable concept. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:45, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
