Sargasso

"some proper nouns" seems to be only Sargasso Sea. Just because it is part of a word with a space in it doesn't mean it's a word on its own (Sri Lanka, for example). DTLHS (talk) 02:01, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Delete, I think. Sargasso Sea should have been linked to sargasso, it is now. DonnanZ (talk) 09:39, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Unless it's the name of a weather forecasting area or something? DonnanZ (talk) 09:53, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Delete the RFDed sense. But this also exists (like Atlantic, Mediterranean, etc) as a short form, which I've added (converting the rfd tag to rfd-sense). There are also citations like these, but they seem better covered by the "short form" sense I added. - -sche (discuss) 17:40, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

I can go along with that, I think. But short names don't work in many cases, e.g. "the North" for North Sea, and "the Indian" for Indian Ocean. DonnanZ (talk) 08:57, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

• Redirect to either sargasso or Sargasso Sea Purplebackpack89 15:54, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

  The RFDed sense can't be redirected anymore because there's another sense on the page now. (If you want to start a new RFD section for that sense, go ahead.) - -sche (discuss) 16:35, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

IMHO, definitions #1 and #2 at the present time are very similar and both should be redirected to Sargasso Sea. Purplebackpack89 16:33, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
