The result of the debate was rename

The names of most stub categories are in the format: "Singular noun stubs". and its country or continent children obviously are not. Rename to. Here's a complete list (hopefully) of all of them:

I hope I got all of them. Feel free to add any I missed.--CarabinieriTTaallkk 14:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that's the lot. Support - I'm always getting caught out by this one (it's probably my fault in the first place that they're named this way). BTW, I note that Polish is Polish and all the others are noun forms. At the risk of opening a big can of worms, there should be consistency one way or the other.

 * Support singularisations. While we're at it, change the country names to adjectives, or to reasonable attributives where an adjective is non-existant, awkward, or problematic in scope, and rename "Mainland China" to "Chinese", "China" or "People's Republic of China", to correspond to the permcat's scope, which is simply "China".

 * I think "adjective building and structure stubs" would be best, but then the geo-stubs would have to be changed as well. I would also prefer China-struct-stub to include all of the PRC, HK-struct-stub would be a child category and Macau would be included in the China cat.--CarabinieriTTaallkk 15:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support and agree with Alai, but please note that a proposal to create individual templates and categories for the U.S. states has just been passed. This proposal used the plural form! However, it doesn't seem like anybody has had the time to create any more categories. What do we do? The proposal is closed, but it would seem logical to update it to the new name, or at least to add a note against creating any new categories for a week.

 * Comment - I've just remembered a recent accepted proposal which included separate types for Denmark,	Ireland,	Russia,	Spain, and	Sweden. None of these appear to have been made yet, but the proposed category names should match whatever is decided here. Grutness...wha?  00:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I was the one who proposed it and I decided to bring this issue here before creating them. I'll definately wait until this discussion is closed and hope noone else will create them because they're not aware of the discussion here.--CarabinieriTTaallkk 15:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Support - There's a comprehensive list at WikiProject Architecture/Stub categories there's a few above that are missing - for one. --Mcginnly | Natter 13:55, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That's the only one there that's not listed. And it wasn't listed (well, it is now), because it wasn't proposed and wasn't named properly, so we never spotted it. Ironically it has recently been proposed with the proper name, but the current template needs deletion (see separate nomination above). Grutness...wha?  22:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Apologies Grutness - with such a long list I assumed there would be more - slack of me. --Mcginnly | Natter 09:03, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support because the change will be much easier to read and say, without so many plurals... thank you Goldenrowley 02:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
