== Edit war in the "Cuban underwater formation" article over "pseudoarchaeolog category" ==

There is an edit war in the [[Cuban underwater formation]] article over the removal of the "pseudoarchaeology category". [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cuban_underwater_formation&diff=prev&oldid=1342743584 One IP editor insists on repeatedly removing it.] [[User:Paul H.|Paul H.]] ([[User talk:Paul H.|talk]]) 14:46, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

::Have any genuine archaeologists studied this? If so the article should be based on their findings, rather than credulous press reports. If not the category is correct. [[User:Phil Bridger|Phil Bridger]] ([[User talk:Phil Bridger|talk]]) 20:29, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
: Given that all of the sources in the article are newspaper stories spanning from late 2001 to late 2002, I think this is a clear fail of [[WP:SUSTAINED]], so I have nominated for deletion, see [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cuban underwater formation]].

::Even a 2014 article on the Ancient Origins site (which is blacklisted) states in the last sentence in the article that there was no follow-up investigation because, {{tq|...the story simply went cold and that in the end experts were not convinced that Zelitsky had really discovered a sunken city.}} [[User talk:Donald Albury|Donald Albury]] 22:51, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
:::I mean It's like 500 metres underwater, which is over 350 metres deeper than than the lowest sea level during Last Glacial Maximum, so hardly plausible to begin with. [[User:Hemiauchenia|Hemiauchenia]] ([[User talk:Hemiauchenia|talk]]) 22:55, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
