Photogeochemistry

I do not think that this a term with any wide currency: possibly worth a redirect, but I don't know where to TheLongTone (talk) 15:24, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not going to pretend that this article doesn't have problems. But I don't see anything that leaps out on a cursory examination, and the term itself has at least some currency; a Google Scholar search is fairly productive, with well-cited Science of the Total Environment and Plant and Soil articles early in the results list.

 * Keep. As per Squeamish Ossifrage. The latest paper it shows is from 2013, which in turn cites another paper using the term which I don't think is in the Scholar list. Also one paper in PNAS, which uses the term as a category for identifying the paper.  ghytred  talk 17:42, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Interdisciplinary fields are becoming more common, and this one definitely has some practitioners and citations. "Photo geochemistry" may be a variation of the name. — Gorthian (talk) 03:49, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
