Although it appears that some work has been put into this article, it's really a non-notable essay that violates WP:OR. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 16:05, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

• Yes I'm trying to bring this up to Wiki standards. The practice of Dump digging is real and valid but unfortunately I'm still learning how to format the text on the page. I'm having particular difficulty referencing the recent news media article by Nancy White in the Toronto Star, http://www.thestar.com/living/article/575703 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roberrific (talk • contribs) 16:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

• Comment - The practice of targeting rubbish tips and other waste disposal sites in archaeological digs is well-known. I'm not sure if we already have an article or section on this topic; if so, this should redirect to it. Otherwise, this is as good a location as any - the usage is clearly sourced.

• Keep This seems to be notable enough, a newspaper story and a couple websites are cited. An alternative would be to merge to Treasure hunting or something like that. This is not Archaeology. Steve Dufour (talk) 17:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

• Keep Per AlexTiefling and Steve Dufour. Clearly a well-established and notable archaeological practice. KaySL (talk) 17:44, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
• Keep The article is clearly about treasure hunting and not archeology. Edison (talk) 18:25, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
