The result of the debate was rename

These two categories have non stub parents of  and  respectively. We already have metal-music-stub feeding into with non-stub parent. Therefore, to make the categories follow the parents, I recommend we rename these two categories to &  respectively. Caerwine Caerwhine 22:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * OK. I forget why I went with just metal:  you sure there's not another handful of "metal" categories around somewhere?  BTW, can I suggest that renaming noms be done with sfr-t/sfr-c, rather than the sfd versions?  Thanks.  Alai 23:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment they exist but they have as their parent. Caerwine Caerwhine  02:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. And by implication, the same should be done for which has  as its non-stub parent. --Bruce1ee 05:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Have amended nomination to included a renaming of to  (or if need be to reach consensus, ). Caerwine Caerwhine 02:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I know you're trying to match the stub cat to the non-stub cat, but just keep in mind that currently all the US musical group stub cats (14 of them) use "United States" and not "American". --Bruce1ee 09:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The latter, please. BTW, this whole America vs. United States thing was gone over fully a year ago at WSS, and there appeared to me to be a pretty clear feeling in favour of second.  Alai 05:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Footnote: three per-decade album children renamed too (which were the ones I originally had in mind, having proposed these on the pattern of the nominated type.  Alai 03:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

From the discoveries page. Just added it to the stub list, as the stub type itself isn't in question (not with 125 stubs it ain't). However, other non-fiction literature stubs use -book- and not -text-. We have a and a  (parent of ). Suggest an upscope and rename to Christian-book-stub /. Caerwine Caerwhine 20:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Left over redirect to NZ-actor-stub from the name it was originally created as. Nonstandard plural and unused, so delete. Caerwine Caerwhine 05:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, obviously. It makes perfect sense that someone might use the plural; deleting this will only make their editing experience that much more difficult.--SB | T 05:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. A lot of the redirects probably do more harm than good. Valentinian (talk) 06:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, "obviously". As V. says, redirects that flunk the naming guidelines "that someone might use" facilitate only temporary confusion as to what the NGs actually are -- which facilitation won't be extended next time they get a stub template wrong in the same manner, thus making things more difficult for all concerned in the long run.  Alai 06:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom & for tidiness. &hearts; Her Pegship &hearts; 17:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete obviously. anything which reduces the uniformity of stub naming makes the editing experience more hit and miss.  BL Lacertae -  kiss the lizard  23:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

This is a loonie redirect to Canada-stub, eh. Lets take off this redirect, its the beauty way to go. Caerwine Caerwhine 04:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was upmerge

From the discoveries page, this stub, created by a member of WikiProject Florida, is an undersized subtype of Florida-stub. (We have no Media-stub.) Only 45 stubs and  is less than 200 stubs, so given the non-standard split and lack of urgency, recommend an upmerge to Florida-stub without keeping this stub types template. Caerwine Caerwhine 03:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Upmerge to Florida-stub, per Caerwine. --fuzzy510 04:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Western Sahara stub (redirect)
Already deleted back in January with a rename to WesternSahara-stub. Recreated in June. Speedy delete Caerwine Caerwhine 01:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Question Why wouldn't we keep the redirect, in case someone accidentally types in this text? I see no harm, and there's an obvious benefit. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 01:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sped. The sooner people stop "accidentally typing" names that don't follow the stub naming guidelines, and (re)creating redirects that perpetuate confusion as to what those naming guidelines actually are, the better.  Stub template names don't use spaces.  (Were it Western-Sahara-stub I'd have a lot more sympathy.  Alai 01:59, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well-well, so that one exists too! Someone has been covering their bases...  Hyphens there's more room for confusion regarding, so keep that one, for the time being at least.  Alai 02:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd favour deleting that on, too, since it implies that it's a subdivision of the nonexistent Sahara-stub. Every other country/region uses camelcaps concatenation (ooo... alliteration :) Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  07:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

From the Discoveries page. Hasn't been on an article in I don't how long. Outside of extinct organisms, anything it has to deal with is covered by (113 stubs) which is focused on evolutionary biology of which extinction is a sub-topic. As it is uUnused, and without anyone interested in developing this one over the last seven months, I say that we should extinctify this template.

 * Delete. Alai 02:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - to extend Caerwine's comment, those extinct organisms should be listed under other stub types too (reptile-, mammal-, bird-, etc etc etc) Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  07:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
