Irish Sea Bridge → ? – Should probably be something like '2018– Irish Sea Bridge proposal'; this article is clearly about the current proposals, since 2018, not about general coverage of all such proposed links, which date back at least to the Act of Union 1800, when the merging of Great Britain and Ireland created a lot of political support for proposals. The current article's title would then become a redirect to Proposed British Isles fixed sea link connections, with all links disambiguated first.

 * Oppose. I don't think the level of proposed disambiguation is necessary as there are no other articles about any other specific proposals for this sort of crossing. I think a hatnote at the top of this article to the general article on British Isles bridges is all that is needed here. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:44, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * This isn't about disambiguation. It is just that, the current title is modern-centric (requires major expansion if it is supposed to be about what the title suggests) and there is no bridge, just a proposal for a bridge.

 * Oppose. No need to clarify that it didn't happen; see the likes of Category:Cancelled ships, which don't say "XYZ ship proposal".  In the unlikely scenario of an entirely separate project happening in the future, and a desire to break off the history / earlier proposals per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE from the 2035 Irish Bridge article on the real bridge, then sure, spin-off the old content to 2018 Irish Sea Bridge proposal.  But no need to do that pre-emptively.  SnowFire (talk) 01:43, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

"Sea orbs"
The article mentions "sea orbs". I have no idea what this means, and web searching does not seem to yield anything useful. Does anyone know what this might mean? -- The Anome (talk) 14:41, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
