 * Delete per WP:NEO and WP:OR. I'm sure you can get lots of ghits about this phrase, but so what? This is essentially original research, which in 20 years we have never published. Bearian (talk) 23:01, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per Bearian; looking at the mentioned ghits a bit more in depth, "territorial entity" is used to explicate another entity such as a political, legal entity or administrative entity. Most of the references to this phrase are references to such entities that have territory – in contrast to those that don't. For example an international organization is a non-territorial entity of international law (so a legal entity) – if one wanted to contrast such a legal entity with all those that have territory, he/she might say "territorial entity", but this only has meaning in a very narrow context, and "territorial entity" otherwise has no independent substance; that would still be talking about legal entities. — Alalch Emis (talk) 17:43, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:NOR and WP:DENY. Nothing here is worth any ATD. Eggishorn  (talk) (contrib) 18:52, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
