Native[edit]

It's largely my fault that this page exists in its current state. Until 16 October, there was disambiguation at Native, but also a good bit of essay-like commentary on the connotation of the word native. I removed the non-DAB material, but then noticed discussion on Talk:Native suggesting that the DAB be moved to Native (disambiguation) and the other material left in place. I reverted myself and then made the changes suggested in that discussion. Since that time, though, only three edits have been made, adding a category and a maintenance tag. It seems unlikely to me that an article can be created which does not violate the spirit of WP:NOTESSAY and NOT#DICT. I now think it would be better to go back to my original attempt: delete the essay and move the DAB page back to this name. Cnilep (talk) 04:07, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So you want the Return of the Native dab page? Delete per nom and Thomas Hardy fans everywhere. I've trimmed the dab page. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:43, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
