Talk:Garbage patch

Suggestion to expand and rename this article

A discussion is underway on the talk page of microplastics to take this article ("garbage patch"), rename it and expand it (see here). The new title would be "Plastic pollution in oceans". The content of plastic soup would also be moved to here. Whilst this article title is about any garbage it seems to be mostly about plastic pollution. The rationale would be to avoid having to start another article but at the same time to consolidate the scattered content of plastics in oceans into one main article:

• Microplastics
• Plastic pollution
• Plastic soup
• Great Pacific garbage patch
• Garbage patch
• Marine debris
• Marine pollution EMsmile (talk) 13:12, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
