{{Editprotected}} It isn’t lake, it’s sea! 217.117.125.83 11:10, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Despite the name, it appears to meet the criteria for a lake. Bovlb (talk) 21:54, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bovlb: Explain, please. 217.117.125.83 15:41, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
While there are different opinions out there, the Caspian Sea is commonly regarded as the world's largest lake. [1][2] As the question has significant political implications, it appears that various bordering nations have taken specific positions according to their self-interest. Perhaps the best path forward here would be to add appropriately cited claims for both lake and sea, perhaps with statement supported by (P3680) and statement disputed by (P1310).

@Bovlb: I don’t know who support and who dispute the statement. So, I think, we can just use nature of statement (P5102)disputed (Q18912752) as qualifiers. 217.117.125.83 17:36, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I started a thread on Project Chat. Hopefully we can attract the assistance of someone with more expertise. Bovlb (talk) 17:43, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
