This is not a useful disambiguation page, nor is there a useful article for this to redirect to.
Some states (such as New Hampshire) have notable presidential primaries referred to as "STATE primary", while some others (such as California and Louisiana) have unique primary systems for state elections referred to as "STATE primary". Neither of those apply here. While Texas has held plenty of presidential primaries, people don't really talk about "the Texas primary" as its own thing. Texas also uses a normal system for statewide primaries that is not unique, so we don't have much coverage of that on Wikipedia either. Therefore, there's no real primary topic for this term, and no useful articles to disambiguate between, so this page should be deleted. Elli (talk | contribs) 06:45, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

- The articles need to be fleshed out for the sake of completeness. Granted, some Texas GOP primaries are more important to others. That said, Texas has long been a presidential timber state. And in general disambiguation articles pertaining to chronology (Which "Texas primary"?) are an important encyclopedic feature. kencf0618 (talk) 15:58, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to related Texas caucuses, maybe moving that to Texas two-step (politics) or Texas primary and caucuses. (Full disclosure, I discussed the situation regarding this and some other "X primary" pages with Elli yesterday, but was not asked to comment here.) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:40, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete Blatant violation of WP:PTM - search box would be better for this term. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:30, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
