The page is a mis-interpretation of some ocean mapping, to suggest "structures" where none exist. No other references support the article's assertions apart from a single blog post. See the article's talk page for a fuller explanation. frankh 22:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - there probably are submerged pre-Columbian structures off the US coast somewhere, but I doubt these are them. --MacRusgail 23:06, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. But my reason is that it's a non-notable theory. It's probably not original research. The two "references" say nothing about underwater megalithic structures. However, the article does cite a blog, so unless 210.15.200.244 is Marty M, it's not original research. Although this is silly nonsense, this certainly could be an article if it should be shown that Marty M's theory was widely disseminated and had a large number of adherences. It would of course need to be rewritten and retitled from a neutral point of view. The fact though is that Google shows no pages linking to the blog article, and the blog article shows no reader comments. Googling on exact phrase "Underwater megalithic structures off US coast" isn't impressive either; 41 hits but most of them are to copies of the Wikipedia article.
