Nominating on behalf of an IP with the following rationale

A strange page that seems to be something of a cross between a DAB page and an article. In recent years this has been trimmed down to make it function more like a disambiguation page, but all of the entries are invalid because they fail WP:DABMENTION - only one of the linked pages mention Flag wavers and that's in an external link. Going back through the page history it becomes clear that this page used to have more article like content [1], but this is just a WP:DICDEF, a page that lists off a couple of definitions of the phrase. This page doesn't work as a DAB page and doesn't work as an article, so I think it should be deleted.) Qwaiiplayer (talk) 17:49, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Highly unlikely search term, even with the new entries it still would not be sufficient. Cranloa12n / talk / contribs / 16:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:DICDEF disguised as a DAB page.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 02:11, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Moving to Keep Article is still sort of a WP:DICDEF, but the edits since this AFD has started has made the article encyclopedic enough to where it's at least no longer just a WP:DICDEF and more of a disambiguation. Article can still probably be much improved, but I guess WP:BEFORE applies per the edits made during the AFD.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 00:35, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Week keep. I've replaced all the (bad) existing entries and scraped together ~~three~~ four legit ones (plus a wiktionary link). Clarityfiend (talk) 03:39, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe Roe No, they do not. I reaffirm my Delete. Cranloa12n / talk / contribs / 00:19, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(IP who wrote the nom statment) I would support keeping the dab page in its current form, it has been much improved since I nominated it and now contains multiple entries that actually meet the criteria for inclusion on a DAB page. 192.76.8.74 (talk) 01:20, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
