De-PROD'd after I PROD'd it earlier today with the following rationale: Zero independent sourcing. No indication the turtle, or the project, are notable enough to require a standalone article, and insufficient independent sourcing to justify a merge.

One source was added after the de-PROD, a PBS interview with Wallace Nichols (the guy who initiated the project). But one source, especially an interview, is not sufficient for a GNG pass. I wasn't able to find anything else significant on a search. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:28, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep There's lots of coverage – see links above. See

• It's generally regarded as customary to actually link to specific sources, if you have any. I did a BEFORE search and found nothing that satisfied all three dimensions of independence, significance, and reliability. Unless of course you mean we should cite the children's picture book...? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:11, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Davidson drops this quote on nearly every AfD he !votes on. Coverage /=/ Significant and independent coverage. And no amount of editing can fix a lack of notability. SK2242 (talk) 22:09, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. The interview is not sufficient. Links above?? Saying that editing can improve the page without editing/imrpoving it...

Okay, have to backtrack here - there apparently exists good material to merge some specifics to Loggerhead_sea_turtle#Distribution, as suggested below. The NASA dataset, specifically, and the PBS instalment might be mentioned (neither of which I found). (I'm sticking with the AndrewBot suggestion, because of course that !vote was made "on principle" before making any searches either...) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 01:20, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah well, so I was not the only one thinking of some kind of bot....

• Merge This led to a significant scientific breakthrough. There is an article for Magnetoreception already, so just merge there. Dream Focus 00:53, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Changed my vote to keep based on sources found. The article is short, but still a valid article, with information that would not fit in another article. Dream Focus 02:41, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
