I've never seen this spelling. Have any of you? It does produce some search results, mostly of Eritrea. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:37, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Same. Never seen it. Looks quite unusual to me, but whatever, this is not an encyclopedia, and should be deleted (via RfD). SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 06:47, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
On Wikipedia, it is just a redirect to Eritrea so dunno. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 07:10, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Merriam-Webster has a definition. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 10:10, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Although it says

of or relating to the sea that in ancient geography comprised the Arabian sea, the Red sea, and the Persian gulf

Wouldn't that belong in Wikipedia? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 11:01, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes. On the basis of those definitions, I'd argue that this redirect is not helpful and should be deleted. Alternatively a disambiguation page could be created, but I don't see why travelers wouldn't just search Eritrea. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 11:21, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Does this even need an RfD, or can this be speedily deleted? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 12:11, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
I think if there's enough of a question to ask that, we should nominate it at Vfd and link this thread. Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:52, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
