I effectively proposed this one yesterday (see below), but just to make it official: I suggest renaming ->  to make it follow the standard naming system and to match. Valentinian (talk) 20:15, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Nbl-stub
No associated category, they all dump into. Was listed on discoveries a couple months ago, and the idea of taking it here was mentioned, but nothing conclusive ever came of it, so let's see what happens. --fuzzy510 17:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Unused, bad caps, cryptic: delete.  Alai 01:20, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

To correspond with the name change from Category:Automotive company stubs to Category:Motor vehicle company stubs and reflect the expanded scope. --Interiot 16:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Move, keep redirect. Alai 17:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and why is that? It dilutes a rather focused category, which will now be able to include bus, truck, motorcycle and whatnot manufacturers. The whole process needs to be reverted, somebody really had nothing better to do... Bravada, talk - 13:11, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Which it already included, thereby underlining the basic problem of it being USian-specific terminology that not even USians are quite sure how to use. A whole group of such cats were recently CFR'd, too, so "needs to be reverted" implies a more involved process than you might think.  Alai 18:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

ski stub --> ski-stub
I wasn't sure where to put this (Discoveries, Proposals or Deletions) since it has elements of all 3. I found it today (the Discovery part), it was created for WP:SKI, it does have over 40 articles using the stub, so I don't want to just delete it. It should definitely be renamed due to malformation (the Deletion part). It currently feeds into, but a should created (the Proposal part). If I need to list the new cat on WP:WSS/P, let me know. ~ Amalas rawr  =^_^=  14:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, WP:SKI has been notified of this. ~ Amalas rawr  =^_^=  14:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Here is good. Rename, give it a cat, and adopt as an "official" stub type.  Alai 15:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * is this for the skis themselves or for the sport which is skiing? if its the sport, then rename to skiing-stub.  BL Lacertae -  kiss the lizard  04:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * A sagacious point. The WPJ front page describes it as "The official ski stub for ski or skiing-related articles." (interesting choice of words, "official" there), so I'm assuming they're really looking for, to correspond to  -- there in fact being no  or .  However, the template name I think we can cut them some slack on:  it doesn't have to exactly echo the cat name, just be unambiguous, and strongly suggestive of it, which I think ski- is OK on.  Alai 04:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * the cat should be tho, no?  BL Lacertae  -  kiss the lizard  05:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. Alai 06:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Not proposed, created 29 July. No template, 3 2 articles. ~ Amalas rawr  =^_^=  14:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Fundamentally duplicative of, formed in a half-arsed way, tiny population: extreme delete.  Note there is in fact a template, Rap-album-stub, you just wouldn't have thought it to look at the category, due to there being no link to it, and the (totally pointless) use of noinclude on the template (which latter I've removed).  Possibly just redirect that to hiphop-album-stub.  Alai 15:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to hiphop-album-stub. There's no reason for this one to exist, but I'm sure that multiple people will try to use it, only to create it once they find it doesn't exist.  --fuzzy510 07:32, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
