comment This could be salvageable if someone added material talking about the subject in general. I have doubts that such a source exists, and that therefore expansion would necessitate WP:OR synthesis of material on the platforms listed. Mangoe (talk) 14:58, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On further reflection I'm going with redirect to Sea Launch given that it's the only real example. Mangoe (talk) 13:38, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a valid redirect to Sea Launch. Timofei Vatolin (talk) 16:00, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
KeepI agree with Mangoe - seems a notable concept. I'll take up the challenge and see if I can find anything to add to it. Deathlibrarian (talk) 06:05, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - The only existing floating launch platform is Sea Launch. Until another comes into existence, a redirect should be all there is. SpaceX has a floating landing platform. Blue Origin also plans only a landing platform. Tercer (talk) 13:47, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep The nomination is erroneous as this article is nothing like a dictionary definition. WP:DICDEF actually explains the difference and mistake: "One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a dictionary entry, and stubs are often poorly written...".
