The result of the debate was proposal withdrawn

I came belatedly to this discussion while trying to organize the literature stubs. Can we keep this and rename it Latin-lang-lit-stub / (or some such)? There are many lit-stub articles which are non-fiction, written in Latin, and therefore don't go in poetry, drama, or mythology, and they're not necessarily books per se, so nonfiction-book-stub doesn't fly either. I'll get a count when I can. Her Pegship 20:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * A Latin lit stub mught be useful, although there'd be an obvious overlap with whatever template we use for Roman Catholic texts. I've definitely no objection to a keep with new template (deleting the original template), asssuming the numbers add up. Grutness...wha?  01:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Note: this has already been discussed further down the page: Ancient Rome discussion. ~ Amalas  rawr  =^_^=  14:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hm, only around 25 that are strictly Latin. I'm going over to Proposals to propose a classical-lit-stub, so never mind. Suggestion withdrawn... Her Pegship 14:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, there is a WikiProject, but no, there are not the required 30 stubs. In fact, there are five, four of which are geo-stubs and therefore should, if anything, be marked with houston-geo-stub (if US geo-stubs were split that way rather than by county). Created with no proposal last week. Either populate - properly - or delete. Grutness...wha?  06:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC) (UTC)
 * Delete - Not enough appropriate articles for use. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:24, 15 November 2006
 * Keep - >30 articles. Postoak 01:11, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash;RJN 04:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Not the axis we'd split on, it's true, but we have a history of humouring wikiprojects, and unless we're actually going to create Houston-geo-stub, those are logically "upmerged" here (though they'll have to be double-stubbed with Texas-geo-stub, of course).  (Though arguably we might revise this in the light of the WPJ free-fire-zone that is the "Stub-Class article" talk-page category tree.)  Alai 09:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I see more than 30 articles with this stub, and it serves a useful purpose. Mike Richardson 05:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

No dedicated category, no stubs, and a naming format that would offend Jupiter himself. Plus no indication whether this is for mythologicalk creatures (which would use Ancient-Roman-myth-stub) or for real creatures (Incitatus, anyone?). Delete. Grutness...wha?  06:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - As per nom. I doubt there would ever be much usage of this template. Spawn Man 09:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

A weird one, this one - possibly a viable split if done properly, but this category has been added to articles by hand (i.e., there is no template). If it looks like a viable stub type, then creation of the template is possible. if not, delete. Grutness...wha?  06:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing, but it would be great if stub templates were actually shown in stub categories! Given that population of this seems likely, it seems a keeper. Grutness...wha?  21:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Entschuldigen Sie, mein Herr? The category didn't show any template but that's simply because it used incorrect code (I've fixed it). If you select one of the articles listed and click "edit this page" a template turns up alright. Think out of the box :) Oh yeah, Delete unless it gets a reasonable population. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 22:37, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * This seems to be one of the more coherently defined film-bio subcat possibilities (too many of the others are "multi-classed" writers/directors/producers), I'd be inclined to say keep pro temps and monitor. Come to that, populate:  doing a permcar search, there seems to be 33 possibilities in the film-bios, and 37 in the US-film-bios, not even counting the other national subtypes.  Alai 19:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep per Alai, and I'll populate. Cheers, Her Pegship 20:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

This... is a really bizarre one. I wasn't sure whether to bring it here or to WP:MFD, since it's a WikiProject's subpage... but it's being used as a stub template! What's more, it's been created by someone who read one tiny part of WP:STUB and ignored the rest. If it wasn't so sad it'd be hilarous... it uses the hypothetical example shown on WP:STUB, and, as such, puts the articles which use this template into the non-existent. Silver Dollar City would never have near enough stub articles to warrant its own stub type anyway - there is no permcat, to start with, and appears to have at most some half a dozen articles in total. In any case this thing needs to be put out of its misery. Grutness...wha?  06:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
