Sewage diver

Per WP:DICDEF. Maybe move to Wiktionary, unless substantial content can be added. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 13:50, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Keep Since more sources have been added. "Sewer diving", I agree, is a better title. The one source linked said that some divers specialized in diving into sewers, etc. However it did not call them "Sewage divers" or give them any other name. Kitfoxxe (talk) 19:13, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * A better title would be Hazardous environment diving, which is the title of the source article, and seems to be a notable topic. Kitfoxxe (talk) 19:15, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep as redirect, and yes that is my final answer. :-) Kitfoxxe (talk) 03:28, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep I assumed this was going to be an obvious delete, but to my surprise I quickly found quite a few reliable sources discussing the article topic in detail:

Obviously, the article is skeletal at this point and should be expanded. It's a dirty job, but someone could dive in there... Nwlaw63 (talk) 22:30, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The article could also be changed to 'Sewage Diving', which might be a bit more appropriate and not run afoul of dictionary issues. Nwlaw63 (talk) 22:44, 25 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Professional diving, to which Sewer diver (originally created as a similar stub) has already been merged. That section treats the topic more fully than this one-sentence "article", and any appropriate additional information can be added there. Only if that section grows too large is a split justified.
