The result of the debate was delete

Only 1 stub, plus we've come to conclusion that splitting sports on a per country basis is generally a bad thing for stub sorting. Delete Caerwine Caerwhine 22:05, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It can be useful in some cases, but if there's only one stub it's clearly not useful here. Either populate or delete. Grutness...wha?  05:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


 * What about India-sports-stub & ? This does seem to be a fairly common-sense way of finding stubs you are interested in working on. Where can I find the discussion where the decision was taken (is being taken?) not to go down the country route? --Mais oui! 10:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Populate to 60 or upmerge, or indeed delete if it doesn't grow significantly. Conclusion, what conclusion?  If it's the only way to whack down oversized country-stubs, in cases where large chunks relate to sport, then sooner or later we'll have to create these.  Alai 16:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename

In the US, "organization" is the most common by far, and the category should be renamed to reflect that. ~ Amalas rawr  =^_^=  17:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename I could understand (but not approve of) the use of the commonwealth 's' if any of this stub's parents did, but none of them do. Caerwine Caerwhine  17:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Odd. I'm sure I even proposed this as -z-.  Rename.  Alai 22:11, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename Local usage is the general WP rule. Render unto Caesar and all that. Grutness...wha?  05:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was upmerge

From the discoveries page. 23 pirates, 12 privateers, 33 stubs in all considering duplicates. Too small to be worth keeping as is, but might be worth merging into a Piracy-stub ( is the parent of both  and .) Caerwine Caerwhine  14:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was upmerge

From the discoveries page. Only 14 stubs and not any immediate prospects for more soon. I'm not nominating the template Iceland-band-stub as that could be turned into a double catted stub template, and I'm loathe to have the work the icon maker went to go to waste since it is possible we could someday get a WikiProject on Icelandic bands. Stryker denne kategori. Caerwine Caerwhine 14:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete

From the discoveries page. Since being first discovered it was first turned into a redirect to comics-creator-stub and whie listing it I have turned it into a redirect to comics-artist-stub. Not currently used on any articles and it doesn't follow the naming guidelines, so delete. Caerwine Caerwhine 13:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per NGs, and usual "more confusing than helpful" arguments. Alai 22:15, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Alai & Cw. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  05:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rayer

Like Tintin-stub this one also feeds into. However, it had only 3 articles tagged with it, and looking over them I reached the conclusion that they weren't stubs, so now it has none. Efface ce modèle. Caerwine <small style="font-family:sans-serif;color:darkred">Caerwhine 13:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

From the discoveries page. Only 21 stubs and not any immediate prospects for more soon. I'm not nominating the template Pakistan-film-stub as that could be turned into a double catted stub template, and I'm loathe to have the work the icon maker went to go to waste since I imagine that if we ever do get a Pakistani film buff editing the English Wiki, the category could make a comeback. Delete. Caerwine <small style="font-family:sans-serif;color:darkred">Caerwhine 02:44, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep 21 ain't bad for a small country, and I'd like to give it a chance. Plus, I was the icon maker. <g> &hearts; Her Pegship &hearts; 15:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Upmerge per obvious enlightened compromise, thus preserving both Peg's lovely icon, and the stub creation size guidelines. Alai 22:14, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, that's not a compromise, that's per nom, which I was misled by over-hasty reading of. But six and half a dozen...  Alai 16:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Upmerge as above. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  05:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
