Comment somebody edited the article since your nomination to be about urban mining. I haven't looked for sources yet, but I think we might be able to get an article there. Rockphed (talk) 16:14, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Urban mining. There are whole books on urban mining in google books. Was this just a weird page move/vandalism to the title "Digger gold"?4meter4 (talk) 20:40, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been around since 2006. I have no idea how. Rockphed (talk) 13:56, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Urban mining. Yes, the article was edited since the AFD was started. A quick search on "Urban mining" shows there is a lot of written about recovering valuable material in the recycling of electronics. This topic is certainly worthy of an article Note that Urban mining is currently a redirect to recycling, but it really isn't covered there or in E-waste or any other article that I could find.

Move to Urban mining. Thank you User:MB for doing some more digging. I had forgotten about this AfD. Rockphed (talk) 13:56, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Urban mining if nowhere better to merge. (I am the nominator. Thanks to whoever has been improving this weird article. And yes you'd think it's notable given the general focus on environment and recycling.) Equinox ◑ 07:03, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
