Sufficient depth
In the article, sufficient depth of water for what? --  Dalbury ( Talk )  16:29, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

In British English...
I would note that creek means a tidal channel in parts of the United States, as well. For instance, almost all of the narrow passages separating keys in the Florida Keys are known as creeks. I'm not sure about other parts of the U.S., but I think the current opening statement is misleading. --  Donald Albury ( Talk )  23:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Merge
I think there is little reason to keep this separate from stream. I recommend a merge and redirect. Zab 23:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose merge The concept of a tidal creek is a large topic which certainly merits its own page. There are many aspects of a tidal creek that are quite distinct from a freshwater stream.  (electrical conductivity, salinity, aquatic species etc) Cuvette 16:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge I agree with Cuvette that a stream and tidal creek are very different things. Considering that the word "creek" is synonymous with stream in much of inland North America, the saltwater version needs its own page, if only to highlight the difference.Amwyll Rwden (talk) 13:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Create "List of tidal creeks" or category?
Rather than letting the list of examples in this article grow haphazardly, I think it would be better to create either a list article or a category of tidal creeks. I'm not sure which I prefer at this point. Any thoughts? - Donald Albury 13:00, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Requested move 3 April 2020

Moved as proposed. Consensus is clear, and straightforward. BD2412 T 03:41, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Creek (tidal) → Tidal creek – Avoid the use of unneeded parenthetical disambiguation. The article text already supports the usage of "tidal creek" to distinguish its subject from other things referred to as creeks. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 00:30, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
