Sense is a gloss, plus group of statements. Clearly there will be redundant or duplicate senses. How to deal with them should be considered. For example:
L1: apple (English, noun)
L1-S1: (en) tree of the genus Malus
Statement: translation, example sentences, hypernym ...
L1-S2: (de) Baum der Gattung Malus
Statement: translation, example sentences ...
Now please consider how to deal with this. Yes we may delete the duplicate sense, but it's better to merge statements to the other.
Yes merging senses is conceptally different from merging items or lexemes. It is merging glosses plus combining the list of statements. We should also consider how to do if the senses are refered by other entities, as senses are not independent page and thus can not be redirected. (but we can implantant a kind of "internal redirect": replace the merged sense with a kind of "stub" entry including a "symbolic" link to other senses (indicating the content is located in other senses), and existing links will not be broken.)
