The result of the debate was delete all

MLB-stub
This one was proposed, but objections were raised about its creation. No corresponding category, and not used on anything. Pretty pointless too, since the majority of all of the baseball stubs relate to Major League Baseball, so this really sorts nothing at all. It may never be used on any articles, but why bother keeping it around? --fuzzy510 04:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If not objections, then certainly questions that were never answered. Highly inclined to delete this, pending a rationale of why it is in fact a sensible split.  Alai 05:27, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Usgnus 18:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Survivor-stub
Unproposed, as far as I can tell. Dumps into, and isn't used anywhere. The stub type could stand a chance of being viable I suppose, but I can't think of what it'd be used on, and it certainly shouldn't direct to that category. --fuzzy510 05:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless viability is demonstrated. Alai 05:37, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Bio-journalist-stub
Unproposed, and poorly named. Dumps into, and isn't used anywhere. It's certainly an idea for how to split some of the larger journalist stub categories, but the current convention is by category, and this is just not the way to start out, IMO. --fuzzy510 05:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * TV journalist is probably a sensible idea, but this name is in no way suggestive of that. Delete and start over.  Alai 05:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Usgnus 18:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

MLS-Stub /
Unproposed, underused fork of. Tagged on 13 articles, which could probably be expanded to include more articles, but there's been no precedent to make stub types for different associations. --fuzzy510 17:53, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * We had this one up before; a rename and upscope to US-footy-stub was suggested, but it's not clear if that would be viable, either.  Get rid of the template either way:  cryptic name.  And the category, as undersized.  So that'd be a delete, then, the only issue is where to shove the stubs afterwards.  Alai 18:16, 13 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per Alai. This looks like a bad way to set precedent. Valentinian (talk) 00:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
