I can find no evidence these terms are used in the scientific literature, or even evidence that "subsea" is ever used as a noun (apparently referring to part of a sea). If kept, they should be merged together under Subsea (waterbody) or something; if deleted, Subsea (technology) should be moved back to Subsea, which currently incorrectly redirects to the disambiguated title.

The term "subsea" is used extensively in two articles with the same primary editor, Okeechobean Sea and Choctaw Sea. I am not sure how strongly the cited references support the use of the term, however. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:47, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I can find no uses whatsoever of this term except by Petuch. Given that the article was originally used as a coatrack for his vita, this looks like an attempt of promoting the term on WP prior to acceptance by anyone else. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:28, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
