The result was delete. Consensus in this discussion is to delete - happy to explain Wikipedia's concept of consensus to Wikid77 if he is still confused - fair play, it isn't the common usage. Fritzpoll (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
List of pages that happen to have "designated" in the title. See WP:MOSDAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created JHunterJ (talk) 19:59, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Those articles are disambiguated as various meanings of the term "designated" because a separate article could be titled "Designated" to describe what is meant as "designated" in each case. This explanation is not intended as a personal attack, but rather as a clarification. Above, I thought I had made it clear that the MOS:DAB is to be blamed for the confusion, and no "personal attacks" have been made. -Wikid77 (talk) 23:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
((intitle|designated))
: All pages with titles containing designated. Readers who are looking for a hitter who is designated are not likely to enter "designated" in the go box, but rather "designated hitter". -- JHunterJ (talk) 23:42, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]The intent is to have one disambiguation page to handle many phrases about "designated" rather than have several disambiguation pages for each of the 20 sets of the similar terms, official rules, and song/book titles. This strategy helps to reduce all the various disambiguation pages, as more similar song titles and book titles are added as article titles. However, the combined page of all variations of "designated" is likely to remain small because the term "designated" is quite specific, in actual use. The page is not similar to attempting to handle the word "slow" for "slow lane" or "slow day" or "slow motion" or "slow hand" (etc.). No, instead, the page "Designated" is much more focused, as a true disambiguation page. -Wikid77 (talk) 03:37, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If this discussion ends in deletion, what process needs to be followed to also remove the add-ons Designated (baseball), Designated (driving), and List of phrases with designated? -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:26, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
