Michigan fossil hunting

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of any notability. Reads like a manual for amateur geologists. The article admits that Michigan isn't know for its fossils and many of the sites listed are sites where limestone has been imported into the state. The sources just illustrate some fossils that have been found. Appears to be a medium to post a book advert. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 05:00, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete or partial merge to Paleontology in Michigan. Largely OR how-to guide. Reywas92Talk 05:26, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to Paleontology in Michigan. This is a redundant fork of Paleontology in Michigan, comprised mainly of unsourced or WP:OR information.  So, I don't really think anything needs to be merged.  Though I have my doubts, if other editors think that the title would be a logical search term, I have no problem with redirecting to the main article.  Rorshacma (talk) 22:01, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
