We only have one article on a person by this name: Tina Peters (field hockey). Another Tina Peters is mentioned in 2022 Colorado Secretary of State election, but as there's a clear primary topic the latter article can be connected to the former with a hatnote and without the need for a disambiguation page. I was prepared to await an AfC decision on Draft:Tina Peters (Colorado) (see Talk:Tina Peters#Tina Peters (Colorado)), but as no progress in that direction has been made for a month I think we should delete this unnecessary disambiguation page, and move the hockey player article to the base name, with no prejudice against recreating it if an article on the Colorado politician ever comes into being. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:57, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I could use a tiny bit of help on Draft:Tina Peters (Colorado). A further development in the last week's news was issuance of warrant for her arrest, due to her making appearances out of state which were not consistent with her probation conditions. She needed both to make request and receive approval (or find no objection) to her travel. There is good material already worked out in the article, it is just incomplete, could simply be marked as that. Frankly if someone would just promote it to mainspace then many people would get busy refining it, as it is political/topical. I am currently under an editing restriction not allowing me to move it. It is obviously a valid bio article topic; she is very much a public person now. Arms & Hearts, could you just move it and then come back to withdraw this AFD? --Doncram (talk) 20:53, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, Arms & Hearts, how much have you heard about the hockey player, vs. about the Colorado county clerk and election denier? I would say it is overwhelmingly the case that the latter is primary usage for the term, so the latter should be moved to Tina Peters and there should be no hatnote from the article directly to the hockey player, but rather there will be a hatnote to the disambiguation page, to be moved to Tina Peters (disambiguation).

FWIW, I edited the draft article and submitted it to AFC. I updated it somewhat, but didn't bother with covering the arrest warrant. There is simply too much going on in the news with her for a single editor to keep up. It needs to be in mainspace, where it will be heavily reviewed and changed.--Doncram (talk) 02:32, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep In the absence of an article about the county clerk, this page helps prevent confusion about the two people. If the county clerk (or any other Tina Peters) gets an article, then this page would be useful as a redirect or disambiguation page. MrsSnoozyTurtle 12:20, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Thank you SWinxy for notifying us about the article about another Tina Peters. I think it is now clear that this article is needed as a disambig page. MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:13, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I accepted Tina Peters (Colorado). There is significant enough coverage on her to warrant the page. Only now because of this, a dab page is warranted. I encourage a separate discussion on if the Coloradoan is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. SWinxy (talk) 19:26, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
