This is a newly-coined neologism made up by two friends, and as such is unverifiable, non-encyclopedic content. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. — sparklism hey! 07:27, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete. I wish that there was a speedy category that covered this, since it's one of those things that was thought up one day and has not yet become notable. The claims that it would be included in the upcoming releases of dictionaries does not seem to be actually backed up by any reliable sources and the term itself lacks reliable sources in any context to show that it's widely used or notable.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:14, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete Term presumably conjured into existence by the article author and no evidence that it meets the notability criteria. AllyD (talk) 12:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

::One of the cited coiners is Amrit Sinha and the article author is {{User|Amrit 3082}}. Amrit must be a common name. —Tamfang (talk) 16:46, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:NEO. Redirect to Fish farming {{spaced ndash}} The definition of Fisciculture in the article is entirely incorrect, and is almost certainly original research. However, this is an actual term regarding the distribution and locating of fish by humans. Here are some source examples: [http://udn.lib.utah.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/deseretnews6/id/401690/show/401782/rec/1 From 1889 CE], [http://www.archive.org/stream/transactionsamer03ameruoft/transactionsamer03ameruoft_djvu.txt From 1874 CE]. It appears that in contemporary times, "Fisciculture" is not used very often, with "Pisciculture" being the more common contemporary usage. Also, "Pisciculture" currently redirects to the Fish farming article. Northamerica1000(talk) 01:59, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Could those be OCR errors or other mis-reading of pisciculture? The Deseret News piece includes the word only in the headline (unless I missed another instance) where the letter is not clear. It looks to me like it could be P or F. Cnilep (talk) 06:49, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
  • You know what, upon review the Deseret News piece appears to be a scan error in which the letter P is obscured, appearing as an F. The second source is probably a typographical error. Therefore, I've modified my !vote above. Thanks for the astute observation! Northamerica1000(talk) 21:20, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
