Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Potentate
prr .  This is a common English noun, OED: ''"A monarch, prince, ruler, esp. an autocratic one. Also: a powerful or influential person; a magnate."''  '''However''' unlike such terms as monarch, tyrant , dictator, autocracy, theocracy , etc., no body of political science literature explores or employs this as a term of art.  A "potentate" is simply one of the many English words for "ruler" or "powerful man."  The usage by the Shriners can be mentioned on the Shriner's page.  I really don't see the need for a dab page
