Talk:Elizabethan Sea Dogs

Proper noun?
This article uses "Sea Dogs" as though it is a proper noun, and a formal organisation ("The Sea Dogs were a military branch..."). Is this accurate? I've always thought of the term as more of a colloqialism than an actual name. Iapetus (talk) 08:12, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

– There does not appear to be a primary topic for "Sea Dogs", so I suggest this natural disambiguation, since it is their WP:COMMONNAME in history books. While I suggest moving the disambiguation to primary, I also suggest merging it with seadog immediately afterwards, since they overlap. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:38, 26 April 2023 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Sea Dogs → Elizabethan Sea Dogs
 * Sea Dogs (disambiguation) → Sea Dogs
 * Support per nomination. There are nine entries listed upon the Sea Dogs (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the Elizabethan adventurers continue to maintain such a high historical profile as to overwhelm the combined notability of the remaining eight entries as well as prominence of the 14 bulleted entries listed upon the Seadog disambiguation page with which this dab page may be arguably WP:COMBINED as likewise proposed in the nomination. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:45, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Use Elizabethan sea dogs. This doesn't appear to be a proper name, but an informal appellation and a general classifier, like "merchant marine" or "soldier of fortune".  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  14:41, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support And probably merge the disambiguation page into seadog (disambiguation) as a variant spelling in a combined dab page. And redirect the base name there -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 03:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support there doesn't appear to be a primary topic by views[] (the video game has 1,205 compared with only 1,096 for this one) or long-term significance.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 16:14, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
