sea mammal

SOP just like #marine mammal. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 20:57, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

• Keep. DonnanZ (talk) 09:18, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Delete as undefendable under CFI. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:12, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

• Delete, unless there are some clearly defined boundaries regarding what does and doesn't fall into this category of animals. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 01:25, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

• Keep Abstain: I would like to keep this but cannot find a good enough rationale. The current translations in marine mammal are word-for-word translated compounds so they do not contribute to my version of translation target rationale: Finnish merinisäkäs, German Meeressäuger, Norwegian sjøpattedyr; there is Hebrew which I cannot figure out quickly; I wonder about Japanese "海獣" which seems to be "marine animal" rather than "marine mammal" from its parts. --Dan Polansky (talk) 14:26, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

  Switching to keep per #marine mammal: polar bear is the culprit. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:59, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

• Keep as per marine mammal above. - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 12:24, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
• Note to closer: marine mammal has been kept. DonnanZ (talk) 00:38, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

  Donnanz, why don't you review the RFD before you jump to keeping your own entry? 5 people (me, RM, AS, DCD, U2764) voted to delete it and 3 (you, DP, and SoC) voted to keep it. That's 62.5% in favour of deleting it. The fairest thing to do would be to add {{look}} if you want to get more input; a disinterested party might judge it to be "no consensus", but there certainly is no consensus to keep it. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 06:06, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

As this entry links to marine mammal which has been removed from this list, I think it is quite fair to leave a note. DonnanZ (talk) 09:39, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

No consensus to delete. bd2412 T 13:56, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
