I don't think the most recent additions under the class 'Superoceans' belong here. They might work in a category, but this navbox seems appropriate for use with articles dealing with current geography. Opinions? -- BPMullins | Talk 18:34, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
None of the bodies of water listed is a sea but instead they all are lakes. This group/section should be either deleted or renamed to something like "Lakes that are called 'seas'". Due to its size, Caspian Sea is the only one where application of the official scientific definition is gray. Still, "technically", even Caspian Sea is a lake.

There are some things in this list that arguably shouldn't be here. I think we need a proper and robust inclusion criteria that defines what's appropriate and what's not.
I propose that we include any waterbody called "sea" or "ocean", regardless of size or salinity.
But what about all the bays and gulfs? Some of these are huge - larger than some of the "seas" - for example
Gulf of Mexico and
Baffin Bay. I think that these should stay. But smaller ones, e.g.
Gulf of Fonseca, probably should go. What size should we use as the defining line between inclusion and removal?
One
definition of "sea" is "a large lake or landlocked body of water". So should any large freshwater lakes be included, e.g. the
Great Lakes?

Straits are not seas, but bodies of water joining seas. I have therefore removed them from this list. Bazonka ( talk) 18:33, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
I just deleted one article from the list of Endorheic basins, but I was wondering - are these all the major/famous Endorheic basins? Only 4? What about the list in the article Salt lake? It is true that the other articles there are of Endorheic basins that normally being called "lakes", but some of these lakes are more than 10 times bigger than the Dead Sea for example.

I don't understand why these three terms get such a prominent spot in the top row of this template: World Ocean, Superocean, Seven Seas. I propose to move them to the bottom of the table under a new group called "Other". What do you think? By the way, we are currently having a merge discussion for world ocean into ocean, maybe interesting for some people watching this template. See here. EMsmile ( talk) 12:17, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
