Subpages of Template messages/Stubs
This page is hopelessly out of date and long deprecated (as are all pages of the form Template messages/Stubs/Foo). The template messages page now uses the stub type list at WP:WSS/ST Grutness...  wha?  09:16, 5 September 2005 (UTC) Combined the five subpages with their near-identical nomination and Ashibaka's identical vote comment. -- grm_wnr Esc  03:24, 7 September 2005 (UTC) Comment: There are quite a few more pages like this. I've found the following, which I think is all of them:
 * Template_messages/Stubs/Misc
 * Template messages/Stubs/Science
 * Template messages/Stubs/Technology
 * Template messages/Stubs/Broadcast media
 * Template messages/Stubs/By region
 * Delete Wikipedia namespace needs cleanup, this old list is a start. Ashibaka (tock) 00:19, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all. They barely load when the servers are not at peak performance, the simple list at WP:WSS/ST is much easier to handle. We don't need two (or more) lists, and these are the ones that should go. -- grm_wnr Esc  03:24, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm for cleaning the Wikipedia namespace. CG 09:52, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Template messages/Stubs/Arts
 * Template messages/Stubs/Beliefs
 * Template messages/Stubs/Culture
 * Template messages/Stubs/General
 * Template messages/Stubs/GeneralStubs
 * Template messages/Stubs/Geographical
 * Template messages/Stubs/History
 * Template messages/Stubs/Leisure
 * Template messages/Stubs/Life
 * Template messages/Stubs/Math
 * Template messages/Stubs/Military
 * Template messages/Stubs/People
 * Template messages/Stubs/Poligov
 * Template messages/Stubs/Society
 * Template messages/Stubs/Sports
 * Template messages/Stubs/Templates
 * Template messages/Stubs/Transportation

Should these simply be added to this proposal, or do they need to be proposed for deletion separately? Grutness...  wha?  08:03, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I would say adding them to this proposal - I can't see anyone wanting to keep some and delete others. If anyone disagrees, they should speak up, of course. -- grm_wnr Esc  20:35, 8 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Redirect all to WP:WSS/ST if that page has made these obsolete. No real need to delete these, some of which appear to have a decent amount of inbound links. Christopher Parham (talk) 04:23, 2005 September 9 (UTC)
 * Unless it would mess up the template server software somehow, redirect all as suggested by C Parham. Barno 04:49, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Since there are inbound links, I agree with Christopher. Redirects are cheap.  Rossami (talk) 20:39, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point. Nothing wrong with a redirect here. Since I didn't actually vote above (just brought the pages here for discussion), I'll weigh in with my support for redirect. Grutness...  wha?  01:16, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirecting is fine with me too, except for one: Template messages/Stubs/Templates should be kept, because the templates on it aren't actually stub templates - it should, however, probably be moved somewhere else. Sorry for not noticing this earlier. -- grm_wnr Esc  21:07, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * That one probably should redirect to Stub. it shows three metatemplates, only one of which is usually used, and the current procedures for creating stub templates are more accurately given at WP:STUB. Grutness...  wha?  06:11, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
