Though I can see the point of all the separate year olympic templates (and let's not forget that Winter olympics are now intercalated!) this one strikes me as unnecessary - especially since the only article tagged with it is about 1912!. Delete - at least until after Beijing. Grutness...wha?  23:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Airlines are surely better split by where they are from than whether they're still going. Has a mere 14 stubs, a miscapitalised and unparented category, and don't even get me started on the name of the template! Delete, or - if kept, rename. Grutness...wha?  10:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. By-location splits are much better than this. ~ Amalas rawr  =^_^=  15:30, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename. As the creator of this stub, I agree that by-location splits are important but I think it is still important to note whether or not they are going or not. I do agree on a name change, would   be more appropriate? Though the stub is small, it is growing through my WikiProject. -Jondude11 21:21, 22 December 2006 (UTC) talk

The result of the debate was rename to -politician- and delete -president-

Never proposed... may prove useful, but not with this name! At the very least rename to Uruguay-politician-stub (yes, it's for politicians, not politics). Unused, BTW. Grutness...wha?  06:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Rename. Create category if / when we have 50-60 articles or so. Delete the similar "-president" since we don't single out presidents for other nations. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 09:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Never used - for a Hong kong bus company, y the looks of it. Doubt it'd ever get to 60 stubs, certainly it isn't at the moment at 60, and is both cryptically and non-standardly named. Delete. Grutness...wha?  06:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Not what you think. This is for U.S. Army bios - already well covered by other stub types. Unused and - not surprisingly - never proposed. Delete as already covered and astoundingly ambiguous. Grutness...wha?  06:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 09:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it was proposed albeit only as the category. The same guy who created US-army-bio-stub from the proposal also did the this stub, but didn't quite complete the work for whatever reason. It is ambiguous, seeing as how most people are not worried about the distinction between U.S.A. (United States of America) and USA (United States Army) that is used by the GPO. Still, once get rid of this one, we probably ought to consider for the purpose of consistency renaming USAF-bio-stub and USCG-bio-stub to match US-army-bio-stub and US-navy-bio-stub. Perhaps USAF-mil-bio-stub or US-USAF-bio-stub with matching stubs for the other four armed services (A Marine Corps bio stub has been proposed and will probably be created soon.) I know that there does seem to be some redundancy by adding a superfluous US- or -mil- to the template, but it would enable consistency without having to resort to a US-coastguard-bio-stub or the like.

Misnamed (and never proposed). has 33 stubs, so may be worth keeping, but not with this capitalisation. Should be at Pakistan-school-stub, if kept. Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  05:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hopelessly hyperspecific stub types used on two Canadian highways. Never proposed, of course :/ Grutness...<small style="color:#008822;">wha?  05:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

OPPOSE.PLEASE DO NOT DELETE. It is very important for us to classify all the stubs we marked for each specific county, as per part of our WikiProject. If these stubs are deleted, this means the WikiProject would be ruined. --<span style="border: 2px solid #008000; text-align:center; background: #ffff00; text-color: #00ff00; link: #A0522D; vlink: #000000"> The Geography Expert--Glad to serve you • Chat or discuss something with me • ''What I give *This signature prooves that this discussion/article/section is official! 21:15, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see there's any reason why a Wikiproject template linked on talk pages wouldn't do the job far better (as used by other WikiProjects - have a look at things like Talk:Flying (song), Talk: Canadian pale, Talk: Grahame Sydney and the like for examples. You don't need specific stub templates to do that job - and talk page templates would do the job far more efficiently as far as a specific wikiproject is concerned.
