Big Eight States
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

I nominated this for AFD in 2019, and it was converted into a gestalt of three different definitions of the term. None of the three common selection criteria for Set Index articles are met: there's no discussion of "groupings called the Big Eight States", none of these are notable on their own (of course the old Big Eight Conference has an article, but that's a different term), and there's no reason to believe these three examples are the only thing called "Big Eight States". Maybe it could be converted to an actual DAB page? User:力 (powera, π,  ν ) 22:36, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom but I would also support a redirect to United States Electoral College, the article that most closely relates to this article title. (Nom says that "Big Eight States" may refer to something else, but unless there is an example of what else it could mean, it should probably be redirected to the electoral college article) –Aaronw1109 (talk) (contribs)  18:12, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
