UK Parliament use not on linked pages

[edit]

"In UK Parliamentary slang, a party's parliamentary whip whose job was, at a parliamentary division, to quickly check round the Parliament building's toilets to check if any of his party's members were in there, as a few members missing at a vote may lose the vote, if the vote is close."

None of the three linked pages contain the term bog-trotter. Consequently, there is no citation for this usage, and the disambiguation page becomes more of an article page.

Shouldn't the usage be on one of the linked pages rather than on the disambiguation? As it is, there's no way to cite a source which fits the style guidelines.

I'm inclined to delete the entry, but want to be sure I'm understanding the proper use of a disambiguation page first. Please discuss. Whaledancer (talk) 15:55, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
