Recipient

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Pointless disambiguation page, as there appears to be no article (nor, as far as I'm aware, any possible topic for an article) that can be referred to as just "recipient" without specifying what is being received. This page could conceivably be infinitely long, listing anything that it is technically possible to bestow upon a person or life form (using the same format as the latest addition: "Recipient, an animal or person who receives an embryo transplant".) It's a completely generic concept, inherently ambiguous. Propaniac (talk) 19:01, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
