categorized. Read

The extremophile section does not include any citations, and could use further development. The diagram included in this section could be located closer to the related text, and should be cited as well.
The section on climate change is very brief, and while it doesn't seem biased, it is outdated and does not include significant reference to ocean acidification. The mention of a proposal to add lime to the ocean seems out of place and overemphasized in a paragraph of three sentences. --

The current article seems to be totally preoccupied with the prejudice that mankind would change the climate and ocean chemistry as well. Both is not the case. The sources are poor. The entire text should be thrown our and rewritten by an expert. --

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
It seems to me that this topic is much more commonly known as "Marine chemistry". I propose that it be moved to that title. --

Well, I think there is some degree of consensus against Ocean chemistry as the title. I don't have a strong opinion between
Marine chemistry and
Chemical oceanography. If the latter, the lede will need significant revision, as the lede content from the source article was merged in as its own section, rather than being incorporated into the lede of the merged article (of course, this can still happen).

I agree with Mdewman6. Perhaps in the first instance the merge should be made to
Marine chemistry, with this being positioned as a branch of chemistry. But there is also a branch of oceanography which looks at chemistry. Oceanographers working with oceanographic ships have their own subdiscipline called
Chemical oceanography, which together with its own conventions and specialised sampling techniques uses terms such as
DOC,
POC,
DIC,
PIC,
POM,
TIC and
TOC. There may be a case for reinstating
Chemical oceanography as an additional article, though this article might need input from somone with a working knowlege of the area. —

I also agree as I live not far from the sea but thousands of km from the ocean. As this discussion was started in 2020 I am closing and have asked tech help (a page mover) to rename

Merge update: April 2021
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
I propose to merge
Ocean Chemistry and
Marine Chemist into
Chemical Oceanography. I have added merge from templates to the
Ocean chemistry and
Marine chemist articles, and a merge to template to
Chemical Oceanography. I am in favor of this merger, which will improve the quality of information on Chemical Oceanography and Wikipedia as a whole. I recognize
Wikiproject Limnology and Oceanography as the relevant Wikiproject for this subject, and I have proposed this merger on that page as well. The history of merge requests on the talk page of Chemical Oceanography indicates a consensus for this action, which I propose to be carried out by the WPL&O community pending further discussion.

Merger proposal
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
I agree. It should be merged, but it will need some careful work by someone who understands ocean chemistry. I am a retired chemist but I know nothing about ocean chemistry. --

Support that a merger would be good. I have no opinion about the exact merger to where but my overall impression is that there are too many separate, closely related articles on this topic. By the way,
Chidgk1, the ping didn't work for me, not sure if that multiple ping option that you used works like that?

Support, but also supporting the note that we need to have someone who can navigate the complexities of merging the topics correctly -- I don't think the chemical oceanography article will have lasting maintainers though,

Oops... the merge discussion has been closed and a merge has already been made to
Ocean chemistry. According to
WP:MERGECLOSE, merge discussions shouldn't normally be closed unless one week or more has elapsed and there has been no discussion or there is unanimous consent to merge. Only two days have elapsed, and while there may have been unanimous consent to merge, there has not been anything like unanimous consent to merge to ocean chemistry. —

I'll be happy to rename the article once the name discussion above has concluded. Sorry I forgot about the time limit.

Rename to what?
@
Chidgk1: I see you closed the informal discussion above with consensus to rename, but rename to which option? I don't think this was ever decided. My inclination was to move to Marine chemistry, as obviously an improvement over Ocean chemistry, and then an
requested move could consider whether or not to move to Chemical oceanography, but the multi-step process would make a mess of the redirect history from the merge, so better to just decide on the best name an execute. Once a name is chosen, I can execute the page swap, but I don't think we're there yet.

I see you brought it to
technical requests and someone has just actioned it for you. I guess then if anyone thinks the page should instead be at
Chemical oceanography, they can initiate a requested move to address that question. The option remains to create a new article at Chemical oceanography (
WP:SPLIT) in the future that would be an improvement over what was merged.

But lastly, if you ping people in a discussion, you should give them 7 days to reply. There is no need for that much haste, as nothing on WP is as urgent as it may seem. Being bold is fine, but if there is a discussion, let it run its course and be patient rather than hastily closing discussions so something can happen faster.
