Delegate

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

per WP:TNT - the disambiguation page at Delegate (disambiguation) can be moved to this title. The material on delegates to US political party national conventions is unsourced and WP:UNDUE here. There's a bad set of dict-defs and disambiguation content mixed in. I don't see a need to rename this to United States national political convention delegate. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 02:56, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep WP:TNT is neither policy nor guideline. The actual policies are WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE which make it clear that we work with such pages to improve them, rather than deleting them and their history – over 14 years of history in this case.  Also relevant is WP:BROADCONCEPT which states "if the primary meaning of a term proposed for disambiguation is a broad concept or type of thing that is capable of being described in an article, and a substantial portion of the links asserted to be ambiguous are instances or examples of that concept or type, then the page located at that title should be an article describing it, and not a disambiguation page."  If the nominator thinks they can do better than the current or previous drafts then they should prepare a version to demonstrate this.  Here's a book on the subject to assist them: Delegation and Accountability in Parliamentary Democracies. Andrew D. (talk) 22:55, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
